I had no problem installing the valve on my S6...nothing in the way. Weird.

With regard to facilitating oil changes...I put a board under each front
wheel to lift the front end about 4 inches. Makes it quite a bit easier to
do the work...

And btw, after the 4th or 5th change, the belly pan is no big deal. You get
used to it. :)
