Hi guys,
I'm struggling a little with changing the oil on my Pug... I can't find where the drain plug is located!
I've seen lots of pics of other engines and none seem similar to mine... I only see a plug that seems to go out with an allen key (on the back left side of the oil pan - as seen from the front), but it has no head like to use a 21mm socket (as I've seen in this forum most of the other models have).
Can anyone help? Pics are very much appreciated.
Regards!!

You need to use the correct tool, not all oil drain bungs are hex headed

Would this engine have the square hole in the sump plug? The bodgers would use a 3/8 ratchet to get it out but you should really get the proper 8mm tool.

Aye, a drain plug set doesn't cost much and is better than bodging.

My TU3 lump needs the square key to remove the sump bung, the correct tool is cheap.

would be easier to drill the sump and then plug the hole back with a wine cork after the oil change

Be easier to just swop the standard bung for the quick drain type, saves on drilling & no more tools needed to drain the oil

Yeah, it's exactly like that one. Thank you for your answers, I'll try to find the correct tool...
