oil drain plug

[j13smiley]

don't have the tta manuals yet, is the drain plug the plug right on the bottom of the engine (has a hex head on it, not a nut head)? finally got up under the car, wanna make sure i pull the right plug

ps - previous owner replaced the oil cap with a breather cap... do those pop off? it doesn't seem to unscrew....

Yeah it is the hew bolt. Little bit different than most cars. I was a little confused the first time I went to change the oil on it too. Also most of the breathers just pop off. I don't think I have seen one that screws off.

Depends on your breather cap, this one is a twist in style like the oil filler cap http://secure.johnsperformance.com/images/large/large-tabreather.jpg

well i twisted it and it doens't go anywhere so i guess mine must pop off. i didn't want to pop it off and break it

here's the only pic (crappy) i have that shows it....

You have to twist it 1/8 of a turn, counter clockwise.
