Default a6 3.0 engine undertray

When I change my oil, I remove the entire undertray which involves removing some plastic rivets holding it to the inner fender liner, along with the normal 1/4 turn clips. I asked at the dealer how they approach this and they said there is a smaller panel that comes off for oil changes. I have done this 3 times and I swear there is no other way. Am I missing something?

Default Apparently I've missed it for years. (may be on newer cars)

Never saw one on my 1995, my 2000 or my 2002

Default Whole belly pan must be removed...

I think your dealer was smokin' something, because there is no smaller panel

Default What he said....

I'm a newbie here... and when I posed a similar Q, the best advice was that the belly-pan had top be removed. Seems like a lot of work just for axcess to the underside, however the good thing is that it comes off easy enough.
