There are no markings on it, a top side fitting and a center bottom fitting. There are two dimples on the bottom but no drain plug. The inner tube goes straight through but there is no small hole in the tube. The lid bolt takes a 3/4" wrench. | | | | | Joined: May 2007 Posts: 292 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: May 2007 Posts: 292 | sound's like the 305-478 GMC V-6 canister well the 2QT one any how. . .
mine takes 3/4" wrench I do have 1QT canister that one takes a 5/8" wrench. . .
darn drain plug is 1-1/4" wrench. . .

There is no drain plug and what has me baffled is the lack of that small hole in the inner tube. Maybe the oil comes over the top of the filter cartridge. | | | | | Joined: May 2007 Posts: 292 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: May 2007 Posts: 292 | yup. . .mine don't have no drain's just a big bolt that comes threw the center of the globe into the engine. . .
