Where is oil plug located on 1996 Chevy S10 Blazer?

The oil drain plug on a 1996 Chevy S10 Blazer is located on the bottom of the oil pan. The oil pan is the large, somewhat flat, metal tray underneath the engine. You'll need to get under the vehicle to access it. It's usually towards the front of the oil pan, but its exact position can vary slightly depending on the engine (4.3L V6 or 2.2L I4).

To be absolutely certain:

* Consult your owner's manual: This is the best source for the exact location.

* Look for a bolt: It will likely be a bolt of slightly larger size than other bolts in the area, and may even be slightly magnetic.

* Use a creeper and a flashlight: This will make locating it much easier and safer.

Safety First: Before working under your vehicle, ensure it's properly supported on jack stands, not just a jack. Always wear safety glasses. The oil will be hot if the engine has recently been running, so let it cool down completely before attempting to change the oil.
