Volkswagen's oil pans are made of a paper-thin cast aluminum that is easily cracked by many objects such as road debris, manhole covers and speed bumps. While your car may be at stock height, there is only approximately 4 inches of ground clearance with your oil pan. If you are lowered from stock height, there is very little room for error when negotiating an object in your path.

Oil Change Information
If you don't want to remove the skid plate at every oil change there is an oil drain hole that is 98% cut out already in the pan. Finish the cut and you will have an oil drain hole in the skid plate.
If you want to close up the oil hole between changes order the Oil Change Port Cover below.
