Location of oil filter

Ian's recommendation based on his point re: going blind
should be heeded. At least get a Chilton/Haynes manual for
the vehicle before you try anything else. If you wish to
gain experience, make sure you're heading in the right
direction first or else it won't be any good experiences.

Regards,
Franko

Okay, lets say for instance you're not a troll.
Why would anyone want to give you more information if you can't find
a simple oil drain plug?
Why would anyone continue with this method of giving you blind
information? You've been told where to go and what to look for and
you still are asking questions because you screwed up?

These people on this newserver are not belittling you, they are
concerned about your ability to get this job done correctly without
doing harm to your vehicle. Now with that said, why would you ask
any Tom, Dick or Harry how to effect repairs on your automobile and
not find someone in your neighborhood, a family member, or close
friend? Surely you've got to know someone that can help you with
the simple task of changing the oil in your truck?

Now if you have another reason for your asking, say to troll this
newserver trying to bait people into needless banter, then I think
you've accomplished your goal.

If you are sincere, please find someone locally that can teach you
how to properly complete this task. Many of us are hundreds if not
thousands of miles away and we can't help you blindly. We can't see
what you're explaining and at best, we are taking an educated guess
to your meanings. Good luck!

Ben,

Take it from someone who has made mistake to learn... Don't start with
a car. Franko's suggestion to buy a Chilton/Haynes manual was a good
one... It's a usefull tool for begginners as yourself.

Thought Ian is a bit harsh, he's damn right! We're saving you a lot of
trouble and money! It will cost you around $1400 to have your trans
rebuilt if you end up frying that out!
