    What about draining the engine oil? Does the plate need to be removed each time?

    For a stock Sport plate, yup. Super easy, esp as there are small hooks to hold the front side while you remove / start the rear screws.

    For a real skid, most have an access hole for the filter, but you are generally better off dropping it since oil is going to get everywhere.

    It's quite easy.
