2005 MCSCa
Prepared with my 36mm socket & 13mm wrench I ventured forth for my first oil change.
Found the filter...no problem there, but WHERE IS THE DRAIN PLUG???
Previous posts indicated is was a 13mm plug. I just don't see it. did it change on the 2005 automatic?
Any help (preferably a photo) would be of great help.
Thanks in advance.

 

Can't help very much, I've got an MC and an MCS but no MCSa. Haven't gotten under them yet.

Here is some good info on a shallow socket though ....

If the Vert is the same as the 05 MCS(can't see that it would be any different), the drain plug is just forward of the power steering fan. It's the blue shaded bolt below.

 

Thanks, I saw on a previous post that on the automatic you need to remove some plastic duct work to expose the drain plug.
