Where is the Oil Drain plug for camaro v8?

The location of the oil drain plug on a Camaro V8 depends on the year and specific engine. There's no single answer. However, it's almost always located on the bottom of the oil pan, which is the lowest part of the engine block.

To find it, you'll need to:

1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the most reliable source for the exact location and any specific instructions.

2. Look underneath the car: Locate the oil pan (a large, relatively flat metal part at the bottom of the engine). The drain plug is usually a bolt near the bottom center or slightly to one side. It's often a slightly larger bolt than others nearby.

3. Search online: A Google image search for "[your Camaro year and engine] oil drain plug" will often show pictures.

Caution: Before attempting any work under your car, ensure it's securely supported on jack stands and not just a jack. Oil is hot when the engine's running, so let it cool completely before changing it. Be prepared to catch the old oil in a suitable container.
