The 1st time I changed oil in my 2016, I broke the plastic rivet, what size should I use as a replacement, or could I use something else?
Thanks.

Use one of those plastic rivets from under the hood in front of radiator. Then you can get to a dealer or larger auto parts store for a replacement. .

My 2¢

Thanks, I watched some videos of oil changes, none of them said anything about leaving the plastic rivet in,
or pivoting the shield.
From now on, if I want to know how to do anything, I'll check this site first.
Thanks again
