Suggested Repair

To drop the underbody cover, remove the two center nuts, the front and rear bolts (often three in front and four in back), and the two screws inside the front holes. The cover should then fall down.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a 2004 Jaguar XJ8 could see the oil pan and filter after removing most underbody cover screws, but three large round fasteners with tiny center holes remained. One reply suggested prying possible push buttons. Another said to remove two center nuts, the front and rear bolts, and two screws inside front holes so the cover falls down. The owner confirmed that advice worked.
