Cut a hole in my under tray to make oil changes easier
I change my own oil twice a year, and I hated having to unbolt 12+ bolts and fasteners just to remove the under tray to drain the oil, not to mention the dirt and debris that falls on your face when you're under there undoing the bolts, so I cut a hole in the under tray to access the drain bolt. It's way more convenient now, and should make oil changes even faster!
These pictures are from the first cut, I put the tray back in and drained the oil but found that it was too close to the bottom of the oil pan and oil would drip on the tray when it was near the end, so I revised the cut (the blue outline) and that should prevent any oil from leaking on the tray.
