Where's the oil drain plug?

leroyphoto · May 5, 2006

I'm a newbie and I want to my own oil change this time. I finally loosened the oil filter (that was no fun). And now it's time to drain the oil. From under the car I can see a couple of bolts that could be it. Could I get some guildance? Thanks

Find oil pan.

Unscrew the bolt on the oil pan.

^^actually the pictures dont work...sorry..i guess the best way to say it is, look at where your dipstick is located in your engine bay..the oil pan should be right below that...

look under the car. On the bottom near the sway bar is a black oil pan.
There is only 1 plug on it. It faces the passenger side.

drive around until your car is warm. Feel around for a flat spot on the bottom of the car that is warm. the plug on there is your drain plug

as soon as you get under your car the oil pan is practically in the middle and the plug is on the passanger side 14mm

Nice way to get some real nice burn, I hope you're not the type of guy who takes his own advice. Btw driving the car around doesn't warm the engine it makes it hot.
