oil filter drain tray

[Jolly Roger]

Can you guys tell me whether the little plastic tray which snaps under the oil filter is supposed to stay in place once the oil change is done or do you remove it until needed again?:o

Since they come pre-installed from Ford on all the '05 and up CVs, I figured they were meant to be left on.

Leave it on - that's what I did with mine!

Looks like I have to look into this mod since I do all my oil changes myself and Im always making a mess when it comes to the filter swap

The Dealer in Philly was getting them for everyone - less than $10 before the shipping.

Still makes a oily mess not all of the oil from the filter hits the small drain tray!!:(

If it isn't catching most of your oil, it is not installed properly.
