Oil Change, keep the engine shield or ditch it?

Hybrid, keep. It will stop small twigs and chunks of grass from embedding in the main thick electrical plugs .

The biggest bitch for me is not being able to cheat on jacking the front end high enough to get to the back screws - that and the water running down my arms into my pits cause it was a rainy day ;-) Once I raised it high enough it was no big deal doing an R&R. Next oil change I am going to hit each screw location with a spray of white paint (suggestion from another member) so I don't have to hunt around for which holes are used for attachment.
PS - I was planning on leaving it off till I saw how clean the underside of my engine was.

I'm adding white paint to my list -Thanks!

Wonder how hard it would be to fab up the stock one so you wouldn’t even have to take it off at all… the rival skid plate is nice but the price is a little to steep for me.
