That sux, living in Ontario's salt zone, as painful as they are to remove during oil changes, I like having it there for salt splash protection of the engine bay...

Not sure where you are located, but I would check out local wreckers and get a used one from there, shouldn't cost much...

 

I am in Nova Scotia, looks like they don't see just this small... wreckers is a good idea, thank you.

 

What one are you refering to? They all are over $200 to buy new. Can you take a pic of your underside with the missing panel. Like you said it was probably removed to change the oil and not replaced.

 

Not helpful

Common unless you do it yourself

They love to tell the next guy its missing and charge them to replace it with yours

Not necessarily... This cover is somewhat a pain to remove with rusted screws and low underbody clearance. Now I use a battery gun to remove, but first few changes with hand-tools were painful...

On some of my previous cars, if the shield was PITA to remove every oil change (large and covered the entire front subframe), I'd cut out a hole in it large enough to get the filter and drain plug out without removing the shield. This car's previous owner may have done the same and left the cover in the garage, or tossed it out altogether.

I've seen owners toss out, or not use many parts that come with car including floor mats, tonneau covers, headrests, etc.

 

You cut a hole in the shield ?? O/o

Yeah ,not necessarily
