Hi, I'm changing the oil on my '98 Contour (2.5L). Does anyone know what the oil drain plug looks like and its size ?
I'm looking at a hollow hex inset next to the oil filter. Is that it ?
Two dealers told me the plug is on the side, one told me it's at the bottom.
Thanks, Andy
It's a 15mm plug at the rear of the oil pan near the exhaust pipe.

If you are "draining" oil, draining being allowing gravity to cause flow, it would have to be at the bottom.
Thank you both, I found it. Andy
