What are you looking for, specifically? I have pics of the underside of my 05 V6, if it will help.

where under are you looking for? anything special? ha, beat me to the quest flap. i`m out of attachment space so i cant do random pics

 

[warrior86]

actually looking for the freaking oil drain plug believe it or not. I know exactly where it is on my 08 GT and changed the oil on that thing, but this is for my dad's v6 and just cant find it like on my GT.

Here is a picture of an 05 V6 I found quickly through an americanmuscle video. is that silver pan in the back with the bolt facing straight down the oil pan or the transmission oil pan?

BECAUSE below is the how it looks from the GT standpoint.. clear cut and everything, so im basically looking on my dad's car for a black pan, not a silver one.

Wow. I actually went through all my pictures from the V6 days and can't find a single picture of the drain pan. Sorry!

thanks though, but can you say that it ISNT the one in the first picture though?

marcy thinks i`m nuts, i was just laying in the driveway in the dark snapping shots reaching under the car, but i missed it on all the pics.

its on the drivers side, at the rear of the pan, and its a 13mm bolt and has a washer made onto the bolt head.

 

[Flapjack]

+1 on the bolt being 13mm. The oil pan is black. The silver pan would likely be for an automatic transmission..

IIRC correctly it is also towards the back of the oil pan

 

[warrior86]

"wheew" glad I didnt unbolt that one then! well, ill tackle it again tomorrow and see where I am at. At least It is on the drivers side I know where I am looking. Maybe if I took off the front wheel it will be easier.

If you are able to get pics in the morning by any chance amustangrocks, Id REALLY appreciate it for a more direct confirmation, but I will go out with a 13 mm socket and see what I can find.

Glad to know it is black too!!

Like this you mean on the back, not directly facing down like the one in the first picture in my original post???

Again... GT oil pan

 

[amustangrocks]

yep.
(the trans drain bolt is a dbl plug, its bigger and its flat on the bottom side. lots of hguys have pulled that plug by mistake.)

 

[ford20]

just for reference that is the K-member

And this is on a 2009 V6

Awesome, so that bolt is facing TOWARDS the front of the engine, unlike the back of the engine like the GT.

Because you are taking that pic from the driver side view correct?

 

[ford20]

Well on mine it is actually facing the side fo the car and it was on the passenger side.

I drew some arrows on the picture to show what I was talking about

 

[warrior86]

k thanks. I'll see what it looks like in the morning =)

Will let you guys know how it all panned out (pun intended)

 

[TexasBlownV8]

It's on the SIDE of the black oil pan, not on the back like on a GT.

 

[RunnerInTheNight]

My 05 had the plug on the passenger side of the Silver pan. I found it by looking at the bolts around it and noticed it was the only one that had any marks on it.
