Expert Reply:
According to customers who have installed Curt front mount receiver # 31198 the hitch would have to be removed in order to remove the skid plate to change the oil. There are 3 solutions to this.
First, you could leave the skid plate off. Second, you could cut a hole in the skid plate for access as at least one customer has done. Or third, you could install an oil filter relocation kit # D15748 to move the filter to a more accessible location under the hood.
