Do I need to replace this part?

[adisidoro5]

Noticed the other day that my oil filter cover thing was hanging from one plastic rivet. Took it off and now my oil filter is exposed. Do I need to replace this or should I be fine driving without the cover?

Does anyone know the part number for that cover?

Ford installed this for a reason. I'd replace it. It protects the engine from road splash. I suspect the quality level of the various connectors is based on this shield being in place.
There are many on line Ford parts sellers. You'll have to dig through the diagrams to find this part.

I have been running without mine for over a year....
Its probably a good idea to have it on

The Ford trim rivets that hold this shield are stupid expensive, and in reality single use.
I bought replacements that work, are reusable, especially if you don't push the expander all the way in.

Rivnuts are used by many folks here for that dumb flap. I also think at least one person has success with magnets!
