Location of oil drain plug toyota solara 6 cylinder - all I see at the bottom of the engine/transmission is the drain for the transmission.

-What drain hole...? oil, transmission or cooling ?
All should be under neat its unit.
Good luck

Which one? Upstream, downstream, left or right cylinder bank? (if V6)

First, check your information on the location of the shift solenoid in the Camry Solara. It is like most cars on the road. The shift solenoid is located under the drain pan cover on the valve body wall (the valve body faces the drain pan cover. To access it, you will have to do this:

• Wait until the transmission is cool and the fluid has settled
• Drain the transmission fluid (depending on brand automatics have up to 9.5 quarters of automatic transmission fluid in them so you can see the necessity of draining it first. Instead of having a rush of tranny fluid gushing out at you, you are only facing about one quart)
• Place a bucket under the transmission drain pan cover
• Loosen the 14 bolts along the cover flange
• Gently place the transmission pan cover into the bucket
• Let the quart or so that is left in the transmission drain out
• Look at the valve body, just revealed by the removal of the fluid and cover
• Locate the solenoid on the upper right of the valve body
• Replace the right-hand one first

Hi
there are 6 spark plugs, three on each side, to reach them you have to remove the ignition coils those bolted at the top of rocker cover, each coil have 1 spark plug under it.

Good luck

most toyotas do have a drain bolt on transmission pan for draining the fluid, i would make sure you are draining at the correct time, this depends on what type of oil it uses. i think it is the TIV. call dealer and make sure ,the drain and refill holds 3.7 qts.

I can tell you this, i do not like the drain and refill , you are only draining 3.7 qts, then you add new oil to mix with the rest of the dirty oil in transmission,
The best way is to flush system using a BG flush machine or compatible machine, this way 100% of the oil is removed and replaced with new.

that vehicle does not have spark plug wires, you will see a coil for every cylinder, when you do is unplug the coil, remove the bolt holding it in and then lift it out, at the bottom of the hole is the spark plug.

Hi Geoffrey,

Corolla '97 manual transmission using bolt 10mm ( hex) as filler plug and bolt 24 mm ( shallow socket) as drain plug transmission oil. Both bolts located on engine side ( and are not on top or bottom of your engine).

They just located on engine behind your radiator and beside your battery ( lower side). It is easier to acess them from bottom of engine. Their are on your gearbox.

Regards

This is for the 5 cylinder 3.5 liter engine in the Colorado

1. The drain plug is in the middle of the oil pan on the drivers side.
Use a 15 mm socket or box end wrench to remove the plug. Drain
oil.
2. The oil filter is at the bottom front corner of the engine on the passenger side. Remove the filter. Try not to tip the filter when you
remove it so you don't get oil on other parts of the truck.
3. Rub a small of oil on the gasket of the new filter. Spin on the new filter, 3/4 to 1 turn past when the gasket starts to seat. Hand tighten
only.
4. Reinstall the drain plug. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN OR YOU COULD
STRIP THE THREADS.
5. Add 6 quarts of oil to the oil filler tube located on top of the engine
in the front and middle of the engine compartment. It shows the location
in the owners manual. Install the filler cap.
6. Start the engine and let it run a few minutes to fill the filter with oil.
Turn off the engine and wait a few minutes for the oil to drain down to
the bottom of the engine. Remove the dip stick and check oil level.
Checking oil level is in the owners manual.

on the bottom of the engine

I used to make the heads that are in this car and own one myself. the spark plugs are located on the top of the cylinder heads. you will need to remove the valve cover to expose the spark plugs
