Seek out Bigdreams, he's got an s-type

 

Get under the car and locate the oil pan (on the bottom of the motor). Look for a plug. There will be only one - you can't miss it.

The only case where you wouldn't have a plug on the pan is if the car requires the dealer to change the oil... Very rarely, a car will not have a plug and the dealer actually sucks the oil out of the dipstick using a machine. This isn't common though and I can't imagine that an S-Type is like that.

 

[&:] I sure hope there isn't locktite on the oil plug... I'd love to meet the moron that thought that was a good idea. lol

 

Agreed...locktite on the oil plug, only a tard would do that. Get under the car, and worst case scenario just get a vice-grip and grab that bitch REALLY tight, and twist. Make sure you have a replacement plug though, and if you can't get, then don't do it yet. Whatever you do, don't put the same one back on.

 

Another thought is that maybe the substance you see is anti-seize and not lock-tite. Although, I don't see the need for that since that plug is pulled every 3,000 miles... It doesn't really have time to seize up. Maybe the last change was done by an extra cautious mechanic though.

 

Another reason that I don't see why Anti-seize would be used would be because there is OIL there to keep it from seizing.

 

hahaha!!! I didn't even think of that!
