Where is the drain plug on a vw T5?

1. Locate the oil pan. The oil pan is a metal pan located under the engine. It is usually black or silver and has a drain plug on the bottom.

2. Place a drain pan under the oil pan. Make sure the drain pan is large enough to catch all of the oil that will drain out.

3. Loosen the drain plug. Use a wrench to loosen the drain plug on the bottom of the oil pan. Be careful not to drop the drain plug into the drain pan.

4. Allow the oil to drain. Allow all of the oil to drain out of the oil pan. This may take a few minutes.

5. Replace the drain plug. Once all of the oil has drained out, replace the drain plug. Tighten the drain plug until it is snug.

6. Add new oil. Use a funnel to add new oil to the engine. Add the amount of oil specified in the owner's manual.

7. Check the oil level. Use the dipstick to check the oil level. The oil level should be between the "full" and "add" marks on the dipstick.
