Need help ID'ing oil drain plug on an xi

driverseven · 08-30-2008, 09:38 AM

I was all set to do an oil change, after reading the DIY here at
http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=44590

It would be my first oil change since 1979 on a Nissan B-210.

When I got under the car, the appearance is different than in the picture in the DIY. I am assuming it's because I have an xi (a 2006 325 xi). There was no door to unscrew but it seems like the door may have been removed.

Can someone help me make a positive ID? I would hate to drain the transmission fluid and make a mess out of this.

The first picture is what I suspect is the oil drain (with the missing door hinge). It is roughly in the middle, just behind the front axle.

The second picture is a view of the car, taken from the front looking toward the rear.

Thanks if anyone who can help me out.
