You got plates, plates, plates, plates, plates. You've got one drain here. This drain is for your rear end. It is not what we're working with today. Engine oil. It's labeled. It's also labeled here. Engine oil. You can remove this pan if you'd like and it won't make quite as big of a mess. Today, we ain't removing it. So, we're going to drain the oil. If this is on the floor and you're up underneath it, you may want to remove the pan just to get it out of the way. I do believe that these are a 10 mm. By the way, if you didn't notice, I warmed the machine up a little bit. Be sure you inspect your crush washers when you take them out. Now, I know that this drain plug faces that way and there is a guard right here. What's the odds of that hitting that guard and making a big honking stinking mess? They are pretty darn high. So, let's take our Milwaukee razor knife and make ourselves a little piece to go in here. A little piece of cardboard. I keep cardboard on hand for just this kind of thing. And we'll stick it in there. That way, it hits that and goes down instead of going all up underneath your machine. And then after you get done, you're scratching your head wondering if you did it right and if you're leaking oil or not. That's a big thing. Did you see that? Do you see how it hit that cardboard? It would have made a huge mess underneath this machine. It already made a huge mess on my fingers.
