Before changing the car's oil and filter, is it necessary to remove the under-tray. The tray is a 3mm, or so, thick sheet of black plastic covering underside of the car, but only a front section. It is there for reducing road noise, as much as anything, for which it is very effective.
The front of the tray is held up by two push-in 'plugs' which go through it into holes that are part of the bodywork. The plugs have a central screw that turns to expand it after pushing it in. Thus each plug is easy to put in and take out.
My bodywork holes have broken and the car-servicing place tell me I need a new bumper. Which means, all of the car metalwork at the front below the headlamps. (and will cost a fortune, no doubt?).
I can see two possible improvised alternative solutions. But what I can do, depends on whether the tray has to be removed each time there is an oil change.
