Where the heck is the oil drain plug? I'm not seeing anything that resembles an oil pan at all like I'm used to...

I've googled like mad, but only 2 guides even have pics, and they look nothing like the bottom of my car :p

I see a bolt on each side of a flat thing on the bottom of the engine that might be it, but what's with the 2 bolts?

If you are used to old school engines then you are probably looking for a big steel black oil pan, but our cars have a nice aluminum one which is probably throwing you off. But basically it is the bolt in from of the oil filter that doesn't have any structural purpose.

You probably should leave with a **** mentality like that. Your what gives everyone else a bad name. I'm sure you didn't always know how to work on a car now did you?

GXPPOWER

and you can leave your car at the Used car lot. I could bring up stuff that you wouldn't know. want me to make you look like a inept moron?

GXPPOWER

The same way you had someone else tune your car. its not hard to use tuning software. do you struggle using Notepad also?

Damn, looks to be alot of hate goin on.

OP the bolt is facing the driver side door, just crawl under and look with a flashlight, its very noticeable.

^ He is lying there is no drain plug.

You have to drill a 1/2" hole right at the bottom of the oil pan(the big metal thing at the bottom of the motor).


Really, man. . . Open a ******* service manual and read.

Wait, you mean I have to get under the car to change the oil? Well F*** that!!!!!

It's the one on the drivers side of the rectangular thing that is under the car where the oil pan should be. Righty tighty, lefty loosy.

And don't feel bad for the crap the other posters have given. If it leaks too much, you just pour oil in and never have to change it because it's always fresh.

this thread delivers.



pretty much look for the lowest bolt to the front of the car (where the engine is) that has oil around it

there is none, you have to suck it out with a turkey baster.

Hahaha, this is too much. I remember the first time I ever changed the oil. I made a mess. Oh and I tried taking out the oil filter with my hand. Good times...

Look for the bolt, you can't miss it. Driver's side. The oil filter is right up there as well. Just look up. When changing the filter, just remember to put some oil in the filter and rub some oil on the rubber seal and hand tighten it.

When you do find it, use a 1" impact on full torque to tighten it up.
