where is the oil drain plug located? i know its under the motor, but where and which bolt?

 

It is the only bolt in the bottom of the oil pan. I am not trying to be mean or anything however if you have to ask this question you really should not touch it.

 

He can't do any worse than Valvoline.

Quick Story: Went to change my oil before a camping trip on my '92 Suburban. Valvoline greeter (for lack of a better word) informed me of an extra charge of $3 because my truck takes 6 quarts. I argued with him saying it's only 5. I know how much oil my truck takes! They changed the oil; I go home and hook up the camper. After I get about 35 miles away the truck starts smoking badly. I pull it over and oil had somehow blew through the exhaust and sprayed the side of my camper, (that I just meticiously waxed & washed.) They had put 6 quarts of oil in it! I was just about at the campground, so I unhooked the trailer at the site. I had to buy $12 in tools because I wasn't expecting to pull the oil plug. I cut an empty gallon of milk in half, pulled the plug and let loose about a quart worth. Oil is all running down my arm, I'm making a mess in the parking lot. I ruined a shirt. Then I spend a half of a day cleaning the oil off the side of my camper. Valvoline ruined a good day of vacation. I was screaming at the manager over the phone. He said the best he could do is refund my oil change and give me a free voucher for next time. I told him there was no way in hell they would ever touch any of my vehicles ever again. They could send me 50 free vouchers. I think the oil damaged the exhaust. The truck didn't have as much power as before. I had to buy a newer truck. I tell everyone to pass on by and find someplace else.

 

lol..thats messed up... you probably could have sued them or sumthiing over that...i go to "oil connection" here it use to be valvoline.. alwys do a good job with my vehicals

 

If it was a newer truck, maybe. On a 16 year old vehicle, it would be hard to prove an oil change did damage. I didn't notice it running weaker until I towed with it a few times later several months later.

I tried to get Valvoline to pay for a mechanic to look at it. It was running weaker, so I figured oil might have clogged up the catalatic convertor or the muffler. I was just ticked off they simply offered a voucher for a free oil change. I told him where he could stick that voucher.

 

oh okay lol i thought it was a newer truck
