Changing Oil & Coolant

Hey guys, I am new to an Evo so I just have a couple questions. I was going to change the oil and coolant in my car today and i went under it and really couldnt find anything. It looks like the front shroud is in the way.. Can someone please tell me where the oil drain plug is and how o drain the coolant out of the radiator.

Thnx

You better watch who you're addressing like that. Did you read his user-name?!! I think it'd be scarier if it was "I kill suckas" or "Sucka Killa". That's how a true "gangsta" writes it.


OP, you wouldn't happen to be a machete wielding rastafarian, would you?

If you have EVER changed engine oil in ANY car then you would have already known how to change your oil. Just find the oil pan and you will find the oil drain plug as is the case with all vehicles. Unscrew the oil pan along with the oil filter, drain the oil, replace with new filter, put drain plug back in, and then fill with proper quantity of oil. It's not rocket surgery or brain science.

suka-killa..or whatever your sig is..I found the link( on evoM for the oil change) in like 30 seconds....look under the car, you'll see this rather large black thing, that is the oil pan, if you look closer you'll see that it has a bolt attached to it...hence..instant oil change location....on the IX's they have a sensor attached(to the drain plug), simply follow the wire until you see a connector then unclip the wires so that you can get a socket thru the wire to the bolt/drain plug....


Why would you want to change your coolant?
