Suggestion: install a magnetic drain plug in its place once it's out.

It being a Chebby... the stock plug is magnetic.. >;-}

The one on my Poncho isn't. It's long and looks like it should be
magnetic, but if it is it's not strong enough to pick up iron filings

Que es este "Poncho", gringo? Early Chebbies had long shanks which
weren't magnetic. (My first job, fresh out of tech school, was at a
Chebby dealership. Starting with the "replace all motor mounts, adding
holddown cables 'cuz they break" campaign, I learned real quickly what
brand of auto -not- to buy. Dad was a Ford man and I saw why.)
