Abstract: A transmission oil pan module includes an oil pan having a floor formed with a drain hole and side walls extending from the floor to provide a space for holding oil. A filter assembly includes a housing disposed in the space of the oil pan. A drain tube extends from the housing through the drain hole to a free end exterior of the oil pan. The drain tube has an oil inlet open to the space of the oil pan and is formed with an oil outlet adjacent the free end of the drain tube. A drain plug is removably disposed in the outlet for normally closing the outlet to retain the oil, and upon removal, permitting the oil from the pan to drain through the drain hole.

Abstract: An engine cover with integrated ignition system components that provides a protective enclosure for ignition coils in a distributorless ignition system of an internal combustion engine. The cover serves as a cylinder head cover for sealing over the valve assembly of the engine and for that purpose includes a plastic housing having an upper wall and side walls that extend downwardly to a perimeter mounting surface of the housing. The housing includes a unitary compartment that is located above the upper wall. The ignition coils are mounted within the compartment and are electrically connected via terminals to high voltage leads that are embedded in the upper wall and that extend laterally to a corresponding second group of terminals located at the lower surface of the upper wall. These terminals are positioned so as to electrically connect to the engine spark plugs when the cover is installed on the engine.
