Can't locate Oil Plug underneath

I want to know where the motor oil changing drain plug is located on my front wheel drive Ford Explorer Limited 5.3 L engine .a picture or diagram would work.I don!t want to drain the transmission by mistake.

you must look under the motor you will find a oil pan it looks small at one end then curves
down to a bigger part thats ware you will find the plug it looks like a nut in the middle or
at one end on the big part

im going to find a pic for you

The Transmission has a check plug and a fill cap. The check plug is located just under the passenger side axle and has a 11 mm head on it. The fill cap is on top of the transmission just underneath the air cleaner box. the transmission must be ideling in park and be warm to the touch , not hot or cold. Fluid should drip from check plug when full.

well the drain plug is ALWAYS gonna be on the bottom of the oil pan bolted to the bottom of the engine, the filter is either gonna be on the oil pump near the oil pan or it will be screwed into the side of the engine block, either way you should be able to see it just from a quick look from underneath the car.

get underneath and look for it. the plug will be on the bottom of the oil pan in the sump portion. the filter will be readily accessible from the underside of the vehicle as well, possibly concealed underneath a cover or hatch.

The oil drain plug is close to the radiator area underneath the Escalade. And the oil filter is a standard screw on type which is clearly visable from underneath.

Crawl under car from front and look underneath the filter and to the right a little it is a small 14 mm plug i believe.

The oil drain plug is rear side of the oil pan at the center bottom. The attached picture is from 2.4L non-hybrid but they are similar.




(Note that these pictures have brass fumoto valve installed in place of the plug. I am just fancy like that).

hi you will need a jack.the drain plug is located at the verry bottom of the engine on the oil pan.do not know what motor you have, but look at the new oil filter,and try to locate the one on the car (it may be a diffrent color),use a oil filter wrench to remove the oil filter.use new oil to lubricate the new oil filter rubber gasket,and put on as tight as you can by hand (only.)

Guessing that this Truck has the V8???? Slide up underneath. The Drain plug is the Bold Closest to the Front and will be at a Slight Angle. There is one farther back But, This one is the Tranny. The Filter is Right around the Same area as the Drain Plug for the Oil. Just look up and you will see it.
