Re: Location of Aveo Oil Drain Plug?
DO NOT PUT "Just over 3 quarts of oil" in your Aveo! The aveo takes 3.93 quarts. Put in four. The residue on the walls of the oil containers will count for the missing 0.07 quart. FOUR quarts. Check your manual. It will confirm this.
Correct on the oil drain plug location. Your transmission is side mounted, so it is pretty much behind the driver's feet. Your drain plug is kind of angled on the pan so if you are not on your back under your car, you might not see it. The plug is on the oil drain pan, directly beneath the ENGINE. Makes sense.
I believe the head on the stock plug is a 17 mm. I swapped it out for a better plug at NAPA with a thicker gasket and a larger 19 mm head. The dealership over-torqued it so many times that my original was pretty much rounded off.
