Do you need to drain the oil before removing the oil pan block off plate?
I drilled and tapped a new one for my oil temp sender, just don't want to make a mess when swapping them out.
The block off plate is the part held on with 2 bolts, just above the oil filter adapter in this photo. This may not be the correct image for the pan on my 2000 Z28, just using it for reference.
Thanks
