life of me i cant find wher the darn oil drain plug is att. Ive read

of finding the drain plug and changing the oil?

If it is like a Montero Sport, its under the skid plate. You'll have to
reomve it to get to the filter anyway.

Re: Oil Change on 2003 Montero
That's if the skid plate is still attached.
I don't know about the Montero, but the 2003 V6 Pajero(Australia) has a
rediculous piece of compressed fibre it calls a skid plate. The thing broke
free of its anchor points at the tail end on its first water crossing.
I've now re-inforced it with metal backets .
To get back to the point at hand... Yes the plug is under the skid plate.

The Montero wasn't designed for off-road. It was designed for fat Americans
that can't fit into a car anymore. That's why SUVs are so popular...we're
too fat for cars.

Re: Oil Change on 2003 Montero
I can confirm that you'll need to remove the rearward 'skidplate' to access
both the sump drain plug and the filter. Once you have the cardboard plate
off, it'll look more like you expect.
BTW, I've replaced both of my skids with 1/4" 6061-T6 alumininum
replacements. The originals do suck.

Re: Oil Change on 2003 Montero
You American's must have a different mind set to us here in Oz.
Owners of 4WDs (or SUVs as you call them) downunder are generally outgoing
active people who enjoy the outdoors. Our "SUVs" are often used for what
they were intended...exploring nature.
We haven't got time to get fat!
Here, fat people generally drive "people movers" with sliding doors.

Re: Oil Change on 2003 Montero
Well I'm fat, but that still doesn't mean that I am inactive.
I really enjoy driving the Montero Sport. In case you haven't even looked
at one it is based on a truck chassis
True its not 6x6 rugged, but its a sight better build then most car based
SUV's. One of the reasons In don't go bajaing in it, is it costs too much.
But you wouldn't do that with you Toyota Camary either. But have been some
pretty tricky snows and bad to no roads. And it went straight through. Maybe
when I win the lottery I'll take it rock climbing. But right now I've got
better things to do.
