    Oil leak

    I have had this oil leaked and today I think I narrowed it down to this T bolt above the oil cooler. Does anyone know what the oil cooler is connected to and what the T bolt is?

    2008 Buick Lucerne CXS oil leak

    I took it to a mechanic, and they said to fix the oil pan leak they had to remove the engine, is that true? Or is there an aftermarket oil pan that is better at not leaking? Or a kit with new gaskets I can buy to install myself to fix? It's the V8 NorthStar engine.

    Should I use this GM NOS AC Delco oil filter?

    I bought this in a bulk lot (5 for $22) on ebay. I came across this filter when looking for OEM AC Delco filters and when this came up, I cross-referenced the numbers and it said it matches with the modern-day PF47E AC Delco filters. After sending one of them to a YouTuber who takes apart oil...

    I currently have a 2000 Buick Century Limited with the usual 3.1 V6.
