Skid plate to protect the oil pan?

Is there any after market skid plate available to protect the oil pan? I seems low enough for concern.

Not to my knowledge. If it gets that close, you're probably looking at paint work anyway.

I know of some who have fabricated extruded metal shields to protect from debris. This is fairly common practice with people traveling to Alaska as the roads can be a bit challenging.

One thing you can do it to always take a dip or change in elevation from one section of pavement to the next at an angle, rather than head on. The only caution is that if it is a big transition, and the rear end is getting pushed up on one corner, the opposite front corner will be pushed downward. Kinda like a diagonal teeter totter.

If it looks iffy get out and take a 0/0 exam, zero speed zero altitude, ground view look.

Always remember that if you even think you're close to scraping, dragging, or bumping, stop immediately. Anymore, if I have to lean forward to judge something, or do anything at all out of the ordinary to maneuver, I'm not going any further.

As much of a pain as it is to disconnect the toad, it's a LOT less hassle than even the most insignificant scratch.

If your talking about an Entegra, the lowest point in the rear is the radiator. I've scraped mine a couple of times.

If you are not going off roading, I wouldn't worry about it. The cross member and radiator sits lower than the oil pan.

And the radiator sits in channel iron that is as good as a skid plate.
