I have the F106SX waiting for install. I looked when I had the bumper off for my grille install and it looks like it will fit perfectly. I’ve been waiting to get to 3,000 miles to do the oil change/install, but it looks like that may take a while now that we’re on lockdown. Maybe I’ll do it today out of sheer boredom. ?

What engine/model do you have? The drain bolt on the 2.0T is literally right at the edge of the larger under cover/shield. It's likely that the F106SX can be positioned to drain the oil to the right side, but may need a hose to keep it from draining on the shield near the end of the oil drain. If you don't mind removing 5 screws every time you want to change the oil, a Fumoto isn't needed as it drains cleanly without obstruction or mess. I only had 3000 mi on my vehicle that spent all winter out of salt and road debris, but was surprised how much debris had accumulated above the shield, and the screws had some corrosion/dirt resistance (from the one trip I had to make on salted roads). Perhaps some grease or no-seize will find its way onto the screws at the next oil change. ?
I have the 2.0. I forget what it looked like when I was under there, but I’ve used the fumotos with hoses on all my previous vehicles and I remember it looked good when I was under there. I like using the hose to drain directly into an old oil container for easy disposal.
