Default Under-engine tray

Nine bolts, 3 self-tapping screws and 2 nuts...all 10mm. I remove mine with
each oil change. It's good to get familiar with the state of underside of my
engines every 3 months or so and makes it much easier to get to the oil
filter. Takes me about 3 minutes with a 10mm socket and adapter on an
electric screwdriver.

Watch for washers that stick to the tray rather than separate with the bolt
and watch the flap for the bolt on the side that can fold under rather than
lay flat against the sheet metal. Nothing major...easy job.
