I'll be doing a transmission fluid change for me 2.0L CVT LX next week and just wanted to clarify a few things before getting started.
Question 1: Are there specific panel clips that hold in the front engine bay panel?
Accessing the fill hole requires removing the air box. To remove the air box I need to remove a plastic trim piece in the engine bay that's held on by some plastic retainers/clips. I know these break all the time while removing so I want to order some in advance so I have some extras. The clips I'm referring to are circled below:
I did some searching and found this thread: shorturl.at/gnotN but I don't know if those will fit since they are from an Si coupe.
I was hoping to get this: shorturl.at/fqzIZ as it comes with trim removal tools for the same price. Would these fit if you could take a quick glance?
Question 2: Can I "drive" the car with the airbox still removed?
I'll be using ramps to get the car in the air rather than a jack since the center jack point is so far underneath the car. But, to check the fluid level accurately using the check hole, I need to have the car on level ground which would mean turning it on and driving it off the ramps. Would this be safe to do with the air box removed or should I put it all back together and then drive it off the ramps?
Thanks for the help
