Oil Drain Plug on 04' XC70

[vooman68]

I am a new owner of an 04' XC70 and after looking under the car and online, I am not sure where the oil drain plug is for an oil change. I did find a recessed bolt/plug and wondered if that is it, but I am not sure what size tool I need for it. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

I don't know the answer to your problem, but there are some old posts about oil changes. At the top right of the first page on this forum, type the word "oil" and click on advanced search. Then, on next page, scroll down to where it says: Search Cloud Tags. Click on the word "oil" , and you will get to some old posts where people talk about tools, maybe that will help.

Little plug on the back middle of the engine

Looks like this



On yours the little metal tab to deflect oil wont be there


Hope this helps!

Thanks, I'm a bit embarrassed that I couldn't find it myself. Thanks for the picture, I'll have to do a better job of searching next time.

Not a problem. Do you get the canister style oil filter?
