OK... This may make me sound like a really stupid question BUT how do I drain the oil out of my freddy oil pan??? Now i'm not a moron.... i've done millions of oil changes... but this is my first after putting the new pan on and I guess I didn't notice it when I put it on but there is NO oil drain bolt lol.... Do I just use the allen bolts on the side? or was I supposed to drill and tap my own.... I was amazed at first when I noticed it because this sounds really dumb... will someone help or at least just smack some sense into me

Thanks guys

on the side you should see two ports. One small and one big.

The small hole you plug up with the allen bolt unless you are planning to use that hold for oil temp sensor or something.

The other big hole is where your drain plug goes. Greddy doesnt included this with the pan because you can just use the one from stock. Or if you dont have one, go to Autozone and buy a drain plug + washer that fits.
