What is this bolt for?

[maurice]

Does anyone know what the bolt on left side, close to the drain bolt, is for?

Not seeing any. Guess no one knows. I removed thinking it was for oil change, but the correct one is real close. I'm sure I am the only one who has done this.

While I still not know what bolt you talk about, this is also the area where the bolts are placed that keep the sump in position...

It is about 2 inches from the drain bolt. Drain bolt close to the edge of engine. This one is not as close to the edge. Will try later for a pic. My thinking is don't remember other bolts so close.

Allen bolt on left is oil plug, allen bolt to the right up some is the one in question. They look the same up close.
