Hi. Does the engine splash shield on the Tucson really protect anything? Its so much easier doing oil changes and ATF changes with it off. Thinking about just leaving it off. Thoughts ?

You live in Illinois. Imagine all the slush and such that can get in there. I left off the splash shield on one of my cars for several years. I had a transmission cooler rust through. I also had a hose clamp rust and blow off the hose. I do not suggest it.
