First time changing the oil

[vn082c]

Beginners question. Can someone show me where the bolt is to drain the oil? I've had a trusted mechanic do the oil change but then moved to another state. The 4Runner is an '02 model. Thanks for your help.

The drain plug bolt is IN the oil pan so if you know what the underside of an engine look's like you will be ok. Just look at it like this "have you EVER in your lifetime" changed the oil on a car? If so the drain plug will be in that area and you will know what to look for, if not just have mechanic do it.
