Hi – I’m a newbie with a used 2000 2WD ranger, regular cab, xlt, 2.5L manual transmission. Can anyone tell me where the engine oil drain plug is? I do see a plug marked “drain” under the truck on the drivers side, however it appears to be located on the lower end of the transmission. Its very close to a plug marked “fill” which I’m taking to be the transmission fill plug.
Anyway, that’s all I saw – can anyone help?
Also, my truck came without a jack, so without the jack handles I can’t lower my spare tire holder. Is there an aftermarket way to get the handles (jack looks like a regular bottle jack). If I have to go the ebay route, is there any difference in the jacks – for example, I’m looking at two auctions (290191616709, 290191616308), the first is for an extended cab, the second for a regular cab. Will they both work for my regular cab? Someone said something about coil springs (which I think I have) – will the jacks work with those?
Thanks for your help
