Oil change trying to change the oil but I can't seem to find the oil drain plug

try running a compression test on motor check manufactuers specks

Most vehicles do not have an oil drain plug for the tranny...you have to drop the pan to change the oil. Make sure you install a new gasket when you put it back on.

i may say it came from loose oil drain plug or the oil filter(if it's change). and maybe the technician forgot to torque or put gasket on the plug and tighten the filter.

Look for the oil pan under the car. I did a google search and it gave me this:


Look for the drain plug is and carefully loosen it and drain your oil. Good luck.

The drain plug will be at the lowest part of the oil pan. I would recommend you take it to a shop, if you cant seem to find it. If its not right, you can damage the engine, and thats a pretty big price for trying to save a few bucks.

even if they dont they should clean up there mess i would change dealers they dont seem to care about the small stuff if thats true what do you think there missing else where

The drain plug is on the back side of the aluminum oil pan, your going to have to use a 15 mm socket to remove the oil plug. 
Good luck and here is a link to changing the oil for your escape if your have not done it before. http://fordescapefixit.com/oil.html

you could try a pair of stiltons on the sump plug. if the worst comes you could either weld a bolt to the sump plug (depending on what the plug is made of) or you could drill it out.

hope this helps.

The plug is on the underside of the engine oil pan, more to the back of the pan....if you've never changed the oil before..the plug looks like a nut....makw sure you run the car a little before draining the oil.

Hope this helps
