grommet when doing oil change
I find it hard to locate the part numbers for screws and fasteners, so thought I'd share....I believe I need to replace this grommet (two of them) next time I do an oil change, since the screws do not fully tighten:
90189-06066

The screw should be 90159-60507
These are the two screws that are undone to fold the engine cover forward to reveal the oil filter....fyi

sorry bout that, I've removed the link and posted the pic that the link leads to. It is in fact Russian, but this is the part, and I believe it does look like that. I'm going to get them locally for the next oil change, so the screw holding the underside apron/covering is tighter....my screws spin and spin, but do hold for the time being...
In order to change the oil, two screws have to be undone to allow for the plastic to be folded forward, revealing the filter....when putting the screws back, I noticed that they really didn't fully tighten....so I figure this grommet can be pried out, then replaced, and then the screw will be tight. It's not just those two, but there are more, such that the plastic shield under the front, can be screwed on under the car....I ordered 8 for the heck of it...I also ordered 2 1/2 dozen of the ones that hold the plastic down in the engine bay, 8 of the ones that hold the air intake down (they are in bad shape, only need 2 total)....just like to have them in good shape.

What were the part numbers for the engine bay fastener and the air cleaner fastener???
Here's a tip for re-threading screws into plastic: Place tip of screw into the hole and then slowly turn it backwards. When the screw seems to jump or pop up you can then turn the driver clockwise to tighten up the screw without recutting any new threads into the plastic.
