Drain Car Oil without a Drain plug in the oil pan.?

Do I have to remove the entire oil pan to drain the oil when there is no drain plug in it? I dont want to remove all 30 bolts.Drain Car Oil without a Drain plug in the oil pan.?
EVERYONE IS WRONG there is not a drain plug on some foreign cars or expencive cars such as mercedes or bentlys for these kind of applicatiuons you have to buy the tool that will remove the oil through the dip stickDrain Car Oil without a Drain plug in the oil pan.?
No You can get hold of a small pump that you can connect to your drill.You then connect small pvc tube to each side of the pump,one side being small enough to slide down the dip stick pipe and then push it down lower enough to go into the bottom of the sump.


Then start your drill and it will suck out all the oil
what kind of car are you working on. i have been doing that for, well approaching 300, 000 cars and i have never seen a car that did not have a drain plug, a boat sure, bot not a car. you could possibly use a small hose through the dipstick tube to suck it out with a pump like you would on a boat.
If we knew what kind of car it is it would help!!





But however if you know THIS LITTLE about cars, meaning you cant find the drain plug you better find a Jiffy Lube and fork out the extra cash to watch someone more knowledgable do it.
If you cannot find the drain plug, you should get help to change the oil the first time.


It is best to ';learn'; the correct way. I am sure you have a friend or neighbor that would help you.
There's always drain plug for ENGINE OIL. If you can't find it, you are looking at the wrong place (like on the tranny).





Keep looking, otherwise you will be draining the wrong oil.








Good Luck...
the oil pan is deep and rectangular and will have a drain plug. The trans pan is not as deep and allot more p shaped i think you are looking at the trans pan.
Pay attention to sean r and Fitzy they are both correct. You may be better to have this change done by the dealer because the correct tooling might take time aquire.
There's one there somewhere. Usually at the lowest place.





If you still can't find it go to someplace that'll change your and watch them.
Like everyone says there is always a drain plug. Get a book or get an oil change and learn.
