So, it has been referred to as a skid plate, a drip pan, and a splash shield.......... According to the owners manual, it is a splash shield. Ask a Mercedes owner, and they would probably think of it as a drip pan, as they would not want any engine fluids dripping on their garage floor. The last time I took mine off during an oil change, mine had quite a bit of accumulation of dirt and other various types of crud. So, being the meticulous type of person that I am, I could not just put it back on without a proper detailing.
