Default oil drain plug

Does anyone know or have a link as to where the oil drain plug is on the 3.8l oil pan. The car is low to begin with and I can't find the drain plug at all. I'm sure it is probably staring me right in the face but does anyone have a diagram or something?

wow...ive changed the oil in a few hundred different cars, never had to ask that question, but if yer car is so low that you can get under there, I can see how you wouldnt be able to find it..cause you cant see anything.

the oil drain plug is the only plug in your oil pan, if it stock.

you cant find it because 3.8s don't have drain plugs. You have to drill the hole yourself. make sure its not to big though so you dont lose oil to fast when you drive it and park over a pan in the garage so it doesn't make a mess
