I assume they are talking about the splash guard / aeroplate underneath the engine which helps with MPGs to some extent. The plastic engine cover doesn't even need to be touched during an oil change.

Person I responded to said engine cover, that’s the plastic shit on top of the engine. It’s worthless.

Correct. Only talking about splash guard.

Look up the plastic clip part numbers on a Honda parts site, then cross-reference them via eBay or Amazon to get a significantly cheaper knock-off. I've been able to get a bag of 20 for the price of 1 bought from the dealer parts counter. If they don't last, well you have plenty of spares now.
