This sounds like a good way to save some time and work during an oil change, but I can't help but ask an obvious question.
What is the original purpose for the flash pan? I guess I could ask BRP or CanAm, but figured I'd get a quicker and better answer here. I'm guessing that the only reason would be to prevent a lot of mud, water, and other debris from mucking up the oil tank area.

I believe I read on one of the threads that Lamonster said the splash pans were primarily for noise suppression. Lamont correct me if I've misquoted you.
