I changed the oil this weekend on my 2013 LX 570 and it was nearly as bad as the first time. That skid plate really sucks bad. I think I am going to cut the plate with a hole saw for access and maybe 3D print a cover in ABS or PETG to cover it. I can get a brand new plate for $280 so I may just buy that if it turns out awful.
I just dreaded doing the oil change and ran 3K miles over because I didn't want to deal with it. Without the skid plate removal and with my Fumoto, that could be a 10 minute job, instead of messing around with 3 DIFFERENT bolt head sizes! I am also switching to the aluminum filter housing, because the plastic started to strip.
Has anyone accomplished this mod? It seems pretty easy and straightforward.
