Where exactly is the oil drain plug on a 2003 explorer??
I've done oil changes before, but on euro and japanese cars, but this is my first SUV...I've read a lot of posts and seen pics but none really clarified...
is it the pan directly in the middle or is it the one that's near the oil filter??
If it's the middle, it looks like someone manufactured a drain plug. it looks like a hex bolt with a nut on the end.
The main reason i ask is that i went ahead and drained the mid pan but it actually look redish like tranny fluid...
any help is greatly appreciated.
