Oil pan recommendation
Hello all
I need to replace the oil pan on my 91 RS. I searched online and came across a lot of them but keep seeing comments about bad fitment or smaller drain plug without magnet etc.
can anyone recommend one that fits properly?
thanks in advance.

Lots available on rock auto including GM factory. Also if it does not come with a magnet on the drain plug just get a new drain plug with a magnet.
