Where is the engine oil drain on a Dodge Journey?

The location of the oil drain plug on a Dodge Journey depends slightly on the year and engine. However, it's almost always located on the bottom of the oil pan, at the very front of the engine.

To be certain, you should:

* Consult your owner's manual: This is the most reliable source of information. The manual will have a diagram showing the exact location.

* Look under the vehicle: With the engine cool, carefully look under the front of the vehicle. The oil pan will be a large, somewhat flat metal component near the bottom of the engine. The drain plug is usually a bolt, often slightly recessed. Be careful as it's hot if the engine was recently running.

Do not attempt to locate and drain the oil unless you are familiar with proper oil changing procedures and have the necessary tools. Improperly draining the oil can damage your engine.
