What is it?
Had my 2014 f 150 ecoboost parked in the carport the other day, and when I moved it this was laying under it. It's about 4" sq and is supposed to turn to take off/put on. I haven't crawled under it ...

I take my entire plate off prior to draining oil, makes life much easier.
The front plate does not come off without removing many, many fasteners. I tried to take off the front plate and didn't find it easy at all. There is a filter access point driver side front right behind the front bumper and the square cover that fell off. Open the front access point and reach your hand up to grad the filter. An oil wrench is close to impossible to use there.
There is an oil drip pan under the oil filter intended to direct the oil from the filter port towards the front but it doesn't work. It fills until the oil flows over and out the square hole. It's a mess.
This has been my experience anyway.
I have asked some quick lube guys if they have discovered the trick to changing the oil in an F150 EB and they all said it makes a mess and then they clean it up after the job.
