Now remove the mending plates and finish cutting around the corners with a utility knife. Reinstall the mending plates on the panel. Now you have access to the battery compartment and the oil fill tube for oil changes.Click image for larger version

I modified my oil fill tube to be right behind the passenger side of the doghouse cover, but the oil fill tube would be inside red circle on the left side of new access panel. I would say this is a simple and easy DIY project with low risk of messing up interior.
