While waiting for new  speedo housing  o ring ,plastic gear,  circlip ,and seal washer,

shipping is terrible just now ,from US, because of  covid, etc,

i decided to fit new transmission  drain plug,--very easy ,marvelous , should have done it years ago

to other Buicks i have owned, so when  speedo housing seals eventually arrive i can drop a couple of pints

to fit the seals.--Any body want tips on doing this let me know,-no problem.

What about adding the magnets into the inside of the oil pan, as OEM did?

[Frank DuVal]

Old hard drives are a great source of magnets!😉

[Wayne R]

Thanks for that --NTX5467-- and Frank--i never thought of doing that,

next filter change  will do that.

You can also put them on the outside of the pan, where they won't be knocked off.  Also, somebody in the racer area used to have circular ones that would stick to the outside of spin-on (engine) oil filters.
