Wheres the drain plug

WickedNYCowboy · 06-06-2004, 03:44 PM

Hi. I have done oil changes plenty of times just never to my own car. Where is the drain plug on the 99V6(1MZ-FE)?

Bottom of the oil pan which is the bottom of the engine. Lowest bolt on the engine.

Well let me be more specific. Is the oil pan on the left or right side of the exhaust?

Well I am assuming it is the the left side(looking down at it) being that is where the dip stick is. Correct me if i am wrong.

I think you're putting the cart before the horse. Once you lift your car up high enough to gain access to it, you will see it. Get under the car first.

I got to it but couldn't get it off. It was too tight. I am going to tell the shop not to use a an impact gun(torqe set to proper amount) so this way next time I go to do it I can get the darn thing off.

Buy a 1/2' drive breaker bar - it will come off.

I will go borrow my friends to do this.
