    I have searched many post re: the Valhalla Cat Shields but can’t find an answer, so please forgive me. Can anyone tell me if installing Tyler’s front and rear car shield will interfere w/doing an oil change? Does
    either shield need to be removed? I messages Tyler, but have yet to receive a response. I am sure he is a busy guy.

    IIRC, the front would need to be removed, and the back would need to be at least loosened - I *believe*.

    No interfere with an oil and filter change. Transmission fluid you’d have to remove plates.

    Like said above, it doesn’t interfere with oil changes but it might make it harder to remove the factory skid to get to the oil filter. I have an rci with the access so I’m not sure.

    It will block access to the trans and transfer case.

    I have a full set of his plates front to back. No interference at all for oil changes. Better than the factory set up.
