So many jokes, so little time.
I believe it is the 4" round plate that gives access to the oil strainer beside the oil drain plug. T |

No. The taco plate is off to the driver's side of the sump, forward. It's held on with two bolts. The oil temp sender goes there, if the car is equipped with one. The round plate in the center IS the oil strainer, but it's not the "taco plate". That's where the "tuna can" goes, if you have one.

It certainly doesn't help me in that my other nickname is "Taco". (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)

i knew this would be a wild one!!!!!!!! do you drain the oil through the black plate where the strainer is or through the bolt near it? the reason i ask is a can't get the damn bolt off...so i drain it through the strainer piece.

The bolt is the actual drain....you can drain it through the strainer, but then you need two new gaskets and a torque wrench (DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE BOLT).
The drain plug (bolt) should be 19 mm as I remember (or maybe 18, but certainly not 17). |
