i want the oil and filters doing on my citroen C4. anybody who has owned one and contemplated doing it themselves will know what a faff it is. the air filter takes about an hour and the oil cant be dropped till the big shield under the front of the car has been removed. my problem is (sorry mechanics) i dont trust em to do a proper job so want to do it myself. would it be ok to leave the big plastic shield off and drive as normal? i only say that about mechanics because when i have taken cars for service before the oil has not been done. i know this cos it is black as coal and the old manky filter was still in place. cars of the past never had these things fitted,im sure its just to stop you doing stuff yourself
