Oil Filter Cover

[Cobrakit]

Does anyone know why there is a cover in the pan under the oil filter?

If you look at the passengers side it's open. It's a pain when changing oil and it can be removed with 3 bolts.

If you have a PP it shouldn't be a pain, if you remove the most central bolt then it drops down like a trap door giving you easy access.

Protection, aerodynamics, and possibly cooling.

Use duct tape to hold the door open, and make an aluminum foil 1/2 funnel to direct the oil from your filter to your pan.

Love the idea of using tin foil instead of cardboard. But that might require the removal of my hat.

The question is what does it do, especially since the passenger side is void of any cover. OBTW I have the funnel and thank God I have a lift.

Nope, not for me.

I can buy 3 rolls, 600 sq/ft total, of aluminum foil for the same amount of money. That's enough for at least 150 oil changes.
Besides, I never have to waste time/money on paper towels and Simple Green to clean it after every use.
