drain plug?
The oil drain plug.
I havent jacked the car up, but have long arms and felt the whole oil pan and could not feel a drain plug.
For those who have changed their oil or had the car up, where is the oil drain plug - on the pan or elsewhere on the bottom?
Thanks.

The drain plug, being located on the passenger side of the oil pan, is close enough to be able to get your ratchet & socket on the plug while you lay on the ground.
The 'rotor style' oil drain pan bought from Wal-Mart fit nicely under the oil pan, so no lifting of the RX-8 was necessary.
Makes for a simple & quick Oil Change.
With the location of the filter, you can quickly replace that without the need to be under the RX-8.
