I just do that instead of removing the entire cover as removing 19 fasteners is overkill. |

I took the whole thing off, but as I was putting it back on I thought to myself, "I wonder..." sure enough there is plenty of room. of the section that folds down (requiring you to only remove the 4 bolts) the drain bolt is dead center of that flap and the oil filter just above it. I had plenty of space to change the filter and drain the oil with just the flap down? anyone who goes to change their oil take a look at it first and see if you have room to work (since you have to remove those 4 bolts anyway).
