And if you have an oil service center change it - like Jiffy Lube - make sure they re-install the skid-plate bolts. They forgot to re-install the front bolts on my plate. I didn't realize it until four days later, while off-roading, when the plate began to flap up and down.
I went back and of course they swore they replaced them. But they gave me $5 to go buy new ones
Despite their error, they did have a good idea to avoid oiling the cross member - use the skid plate as a splatter shield. They let the oil run down it into the funnel. A simple wipe with a cloth after the fact cleared any remaining reside on the pan!
