The oil on these cars is normally sucked out through the top rather than drained.

If there is a drain plug (there used to be, not sure on the 5.5l), it is in the usual place but you have to take off the underbody shield to get to it. The plugs were not intended to be re-used and were to be replaced any time they were removed.

Regards,
Don

they mount the filter on the top too, so it's a top-down operation, suck out the oil, swap the filter and you're done in ten mins. long interval too...

Thank you very much. I was hoping that's what you'd say.
