Default how to change oil

ok...I have changed my oil before but it was in a VW Passat. I now have a 06 V6 Mustang and have all the tools needed...including syn oil 4qrts, oil filter wrench, mobile 1 oil filter, oil drainage pan....so i would usually go to a Good Year and get them to change it with my oil for a fee....but they told me that they dont do that anymore due to liability...the oil that they put in sucks and they overcharge...so here i am with nothing to do on Sunday and dont have a clue where the oil pan plug is for me to drain it is...can anyone help me with a walk through...much appreciated if you do

Under the car, look for the oil pan(at the bottom of the engine), oil pan bolt should be at the bottom of pan(might be directly on bottom, on the lower left or lower right side). Need some V-6 guys to chime in. Invest in some drive way ramps(about $40 or so at Pep Boys, etc.) will make getting under the car easier and eliminate the need for a jack & jack-stands.Good luck!

First of all...you need more than 4 quarts. The mustang v6 takes 5 quarts.Tacobills guide is for a GT, its a little different than the V6, but still basicly the same.
