I just recently bought an '06 EB and it is time to change the oil. I just want to confirm that I have the proper location of the drain plug.

Is it about in the middle of the engine area with the drain plug pointing to the passenger side. The oil pan is black and to the passenger side of this is the oil filter.

I have done my oil changes on my other cars and it just seemed the pan was always closer to the front of the car. The last thing I want to happen is that I open up the plug and tranny fluid comes out.

If someone can respond with a picture, that would be great. I wanted to post a picture myself but have not figured out to do that yet as I am new here.

Thanks for the help.
 






Forgot to mention that the '06 EB was the V6 engine. Thanks
