How many drain plugs are on the bottom of the engine block? I went ahead and gave it a shot to change my oil, I really only took one glance and removed the drain plug on what I believe was the oil pan, never saw a stock one with cooling fins before though. I drained the oil into the pan, it seemed rather thin but was only roughly 3 to 4 quarts. Let it drip out for 10min. I changed the filter, and then filled it up with 3.5 quarts. Checked the dip stick and it was above the max line. Figured it was run off. Checked it again 6 hours later after letting it sit, and it was still above the max line. Ok, kinda odd. I doubled checked the oil change tutorial and it said the drain pan plug was a 17mm. I used a 15mm..
I drove the car around, it seems fine. But after about 40mi it started to smoke and sputter. There is no possible chance I drained the tranny fluid is there? That would be like 15 quarts that would drain out right?
