First oil change...what a pain in the ass 😆

15 screws, two larger Christmas tree push rivets and two other 2-piece push style plastic rivets. that's it. Easy peasy.

For a filter …. Ugh but guess it’s ok since only needs to be done once a year? Up down on off shield flapper ugh.. frigging wrong plug for that hole. Why not consistency of connection? Why screws, trees, and pins, why not all the same since it’s a service part?

The rivets are used to support the panel in the correct orientation WHILE you install the screws.

Again, it's not a big deal. If you own a cordless ratchet wrench, it takes less than a minute to remove the screws and not much longer to put them back in when done.

But if the rumor is true and can be done via wheel well….

You're gonna soak the panel with oil that way. I've changed my oil (not a rumor) and I would NOT try to R&R the filter that way.
