Default Oil Pan Plug

Hi Everyone,

Im planning on my first oil change today and I could use your help. To confirm I will need the following:

- 6.7q of Mobil1
- Oil Filter (K&N a good choice)?
- Oil Filter removal tool
- 13mm wrench for Oil Plug

Could you please provide me with a pic showing where the oil pan plug is on a 2002 xtype 3.0?

Thank you,
D

I would use Castrol Syntec..Castrol has some petroleum products still in the mix..even though it is called full sythetic, it ain't exactly true..As a benifit of this, this will help maintain seals better..But it has been proven that Castrol offers the second best wear protection..Amsoil being #1 and Mobil1 is way down on the list....And don't forget to prefill the the new oil filter before you install it..other than that, your list looks complete.
