Changing the oil in the next 1k miles (5600 miles on the car at the moment, the oil doesn't look too bad). I was checking the car out in order to see what I would need to do the job and I cannot find the drain plug for the life of me. I see the oil filter and I see the bottom of the pan, but I do not see the drain plug. Where is it!?

Also, these babies take 8 quarts of oil, correct?

yeah, its really not hard to miss... its the bolt sticking right out from under the oil pan. I just changed my oil out yesterday. Youll need to unbolt the belly pan too, to get access to the oil filter
