Question on skid plates. Do they needed to be removed when you change the oil or is there a hole big enough to get a socket in there?

Utah/Ricochet/Moose has a hole. Cut one if there isn't. You don't want to be removing the plate with every oil change.

If there's no hole, it wasn't a very well designed skidplate... My Ricochet has a hole.

Default Oil Drain
The Scorpion has a hole for an oil change but I have not tried it yet.

There's always the stock one...

You really won't find cheaper, or better quality than the Ricochet plates... I got mine directly from their website. They are very well made and come with all the mounting hardware. Made good sense to support a local manufacturer too...

A store in Canada called Princess Auto. It was on sale for $60.
SKU # 8133860

You can thank Seth6025 for the coupon code
