Hi guys,
2011 Mazda6.
Like to remove the under carriage cover and the engine cover in the engine bay.
Read that the engine cover serves to cool critical parts under the engine?
Doesn't sound right to me.
Read that the under carriage cover serves to protect sensors from debris.
May reduce road noise in the cabin and gas economy.
Removing it like older cars used to be will just make it easier for me to change the transmission fluid.
The drain plug is cover the reason why I can't do it anymore, the older car I was.
Could cut a flap but it could be messy.
Do car manufactures do this so we need to take it to them for service?

you can remove them both they don't do that much of anything really. And the cover of course under doesn't help cool. It helps heat things up. It holds heat in when you shut the car off which is a bad thing for all the plastic crap under it

yes , some lower air dams are designed to scoop air. They also protect things down there like the oil pan from road debris. Personally I would leave the bottom ones on. Keeps critters out too.
