Just wanted to add that synthetic fluid is great and would recommend it. I had a flush done with synthetic at 62k miles and was told it was good for 90k miles. At 120k miles the fluid was still bright red so I plan on taking it to 150k. The pan and drain plug are easy to find though. It's straight back from the oil plug and you will see the rectangular aluminum pan. If you crawl under the car from the driver side door it should be just about straight up. Any doubts, just remove a bolt and see if it bleeds red, or your case maybe a brownish red
