Oil Pan Skid Plate Cover

[dbogey]

I just changed the oil in my 2004 today for the first time... No I haven't been driving it since 04 with the original oil... I just bought it a few months ago and this was my first time time to change the oil... So imagine my surprise to find that the plastic cap on the skid plate that covers the oil pan/plug was missing... The parils of buying used I suppose... So my question is...

Does anyone know where one can purchase a new skid plate - oil plug access cover? And if the 'stealer' is my only option, does anyone know how much they'll want for this part?

IMHO it's not worth it, it will just fall off/ break off again, it doesnt do anything anyways.

I consider this to be a silly part. I lost mine months after I purchased it. I like it off.

DITTO.....The way it is held on to the skid plate is tenuous at best. I lost mine last winter, and haven't bothered to replace it.

Thanks for the feedback guys... It sounds like this is a rather poorly desined part with little if any practical purpose. I think I'll just learn to live without it.
