Screw Location For Draining Oil In 2003 Es 300?

rmalghan · March 31, 2005

I am trying to change the oil and oil filter in my 2003 ES 300. I am not sure where the screw is to drain the oil from the car. I see one on my right when I am under the car with my face up. Can somebody confirm?

Thanks

I think this will help.

the oil drain plug is a 14mm I think.

The filter is the PITA to change. wear a long sleeve shirt--trust me.

The tranny plug is the drain plug for the transmission fluid.

This is even easier than doing and oil and filter change. I do a drain and fill every 15k miles. Look in the tutorial section for the thread I post on this. It's on page two in that section.

Now thats a clean underside!

thanks, not bad for for 45,000 miles at the time of that picture.

Actually, steviej alternates his cleaning schedule....1 day he cleans the topside of his car.....and the other day he cleans the underside......and he gets all the great polishes from the super detailer, SWO3ES. HEEHEE :D

no way!!!! I hate doing that crap.

The underside is cleaned by the LaserWash 4000 and the topside is cleaned by my detailer every 4 months and every 2 weeks by the LaserWash 4000.

on a sunny saturday you won't find me washing a car...I'm zooming away on my zuki.
