Threaded Hole Near Oil Filter Housing

Hello All,

I'm wondering if you guys know what's the hole that's slightly behind the OFH is for? It looks threaded, but both examples (including my own) don't have a screw/bolt on it. I've attached 2 examples from 2 different engine bays.

Thanks

It's for screwing the toe hook into it. You hook the toe hook onto an engine bar, if your removing the subframe or doing work where the subframe is involved.

However, you have to grind the toe hook down so you can screw it in properly.
