The oil drain plug is directly above an oval hole in the skid plate. There may be a plastic cover covering the hole.

right above that plastic oval hole in center of the back skid plate right. then this should be it then.

just done changing my oil today for the first time. man that oil filter was on tight. luckily i manage to get the damn thing off. by using a shop towel around the filter and loosen it with a filter wrench. here is some pics...

ontoy, how many quarts did you put in the engine?

ontoy 11-06-2004 01:41 AM
5.5 quarts. I checked the oil level in the dipstick and it is between min - max, so it's all good.

May I give you one suggestion for next time. Your choice of Mobile 1 is very good. However I would use 10w30 next time. I have used 5w30 and 10w30. I have had them both analyzed afterwards. Believe me the 10w30 holds up alot better.
