Oil Filter Cover

[Jda1981]

Does anyone have the part numbers for the access panel for the oil filter and fasteners. I messed up and went to a quick change joint for my oil change and they didn’t put the panel back on. They are making it right but are not really good at figuring out which part to order.

I remember seeing a post here a while back where someone took out the plastic clips, and put some strong magnets on the cover so it could easily be removed and replaced for oil changes.

it looks like according to the diagram a whole new wheel well is going to have to be ordered.

Wrong.
Look again.

So is it that #15 front shield the right part? The wife took the truck this drill this weekend so I could work on her car and I can’t exactly run out to it to look.

Pretty sure it’s #20 https://www.fordpartsamerica.com/oe...uZ2VyJnk9MjAyMCZ0PWxhcmlhdCZlPTItM2wtbDQtZ2Fz

The plastic snap clips are 1/4” ones. Get aftermarket with a pop top. Factory are screw in and are a PIA.

Any negative effects of NOT putting that shield/guard on?

Have you seen where the alternator is?

I bought some plastic insert for screws and also threaded rivets to try when time allows.

Alternator is on opposite side. Down low too so it’s the Achilles heel of it all. Personally I want a cover on mine. Depending on how well factory one holds up will decide if I get some Buna rubber sheet and transfer the pattern.
