Location of the 2010 GT3 oil tank drain bolt?

[gt3911]

I truly apologize, but still can't find the main oil drain bolt on my 2010 GT3. I know about the 19mm bolt to look for, and to keep the tank from spinning by holding the 24 or 27mm nut above it, and that the bolt is in front of the passenger rear wheel somewhere, but was told there are pics on this site to show exactly where it is. I can't find the link for this. Do I have to remove the plastic undercarriage cover to see the drain bolt? Am I looking in the right place? I found the second drain directly under the engine. Thank you. John (still a newbie)

Not sure about the under panels on the 2010 cars but you are looking for the tank and drain plug item 21.

Be sure to use a second wrench on the nut above the drain plg so you do not put pressure on the tank weld point.

Thank you very much. The exploded view helps alot. I should have no problem this time. At 500 miles I changed the oil and filter, but only changed the 3 or so quarts I could get out of the drain directly under the engine. No harm, but a waste of money! I am now changing it at 1100 miles, and it should go alot better this time. John
