Oil drain plug removal

17mm Socket or Wrench and then a special tool or spanner wrench that takes the cap off the Filter.... Rest is Easy.. Drain the Oil and make sure you put the Drain Plug back in before you start to fill the system.

It is located on the oil pan, please be advised the oil pan is also the casting that houses the front differential, and the engine oil drain is the hex nut furthest to the rear of of the pan . You will need a 17mm wrench to remove the hex nut . After you drain the oil, DO NOT over tighten the plug . The proper torque is 25 newton/meters or about 20 foot/pounds

it ca be tapped out to the next size thread, or a thread insert will need to be fitted

Jack up the front of your car safely and climb under.

TIM.

The clearence between the bolt heads and crankcase is very tight u might have to take a old 17mm socket and grind it down a little to get it on the bolt head. I think one bolt is for the oil in the engine and the back one is for the dry sump, there is oil in both at any given time.

Then it sounds as if a special wrench is needed to remove the oil drain plug, unless there is an alternate way to remove it.
So what you are saying is the frame or engine case is in the way of putting a wrench on the plug?

Ok, I saw in the manual where the oil drain bolts are located, they are in a poor spot.
I suggest you call a dealer and politely ask what wrench they use to remove the drain bolts.

Under the crank case. Just take a small mirror & watch the bottom of the crankcase. You can locate the hexagon bolt in the reflection view.

Place container under oil drain plug under the engine oil pan, remove drain plug using 17mm socket or wrench.

Hope this tip helps.
