Message	I need to change my manny tranny oil in hopes that it will help with my gear grinding issue. Approximately how far back on the vehicle is the drain and fill hole located? Anyone have a good reference pic? I'm concerned about access... I have the jack that comes with the car and a Craftsman low profile-ish hydraulic jack. I have two jack stands but they are rather high I suppose I can remove the extension arms tho. Wondering if I can fill directly from the Nissan MTF bottles (they have the mustard bottle tips) but I know the vehicle won't be completely level. I suppose I could drain, then fit some sort of tube pump lower the car so it is level and then pump pump pump it up? Anything available from Autozone that don't leak? I have two 1/2" torque wrenches one solid I hear it is wise to remove the fill plug first since it can get stuck... Any secret tips? Car is has Eibach lowering springs... _____________________ 2006 Yamaha R1 Anniversary Edition 2006 Scion tC (Sold) 2004 Yamaha YZF-R6 (Sold) 2003 Nissan 350Z Track (Sold) 2000 BMW X5 4.4i 1993 300ZX Twin Turbo 1985 Nissan 300ZX NA (Sold) http://WE350Z.com>v WE350Z at gmail dot com
