'99 Explorer V6 SOHC, cannot find oil drain plug?

I've changed the oil on several other vehicles, but the explorer happens to be my first Ford Explorer. Can someone tell me where is the oil drain plug located? a diagram would be nice but not necessary.'99 Explorer V6 SOHC, cannot find oil drain plug?
It will be a 13mm drain plug on the right side of the oil pan, just in front of the oil filter (FL-1A from Ford). I strongly recommend putting a piece of cardboard in front of the frame, if you drain it with the engine at operating temperature, failing which, oil will deflect off the frame and splash all over the place making a huge mess. With a piece of cardboard held against the frame, you can deflect the oil splatter into the drain bucket where it belongs. Hope this helps.'99 Explorer V6 SOHC, cannot find oil drain plug?
