Hi there. I'm Steve and I am the new owner of my mothers 96 Magna TE Ex V6. I have never done an Engine Oil change before and I'm stuck on the first bit. Where is the drainage plug located. When looking front on to the car, I can see the Oil Filter and a biggish plug on the corner of a sump(If thats what you call it) and closer the the middle i can see the small plug looking to the ground.

The plug you need to undo is the one on the bottom/back of the sump closest to the drivers side. It's very close to the oil filter.

I'd suggest you grab a workshop manual which are available for download on this forum somewhere. I can never find them when I search, but they're on here somewhere.
