say gang, im a neophyte to seven still. need help locating the oil drain plug for my 97 7 series. it appears i need to remove some plastic shrouds that are beneath the car, to expose the drain pan. Are there any other quirky procedures that i need to be aware of? what size is the drain plug, is it a standard hex bolt? also...Is that the oil filter inside that metal canister with the plastic hex knurled top, to on the right front (drivers side) of the motor?, just in front of the ATF reservior?...this car is so different from my former 90 525i....

finally is mobile 1 synthetic 15w-40 the correct grade oil for this car?
any comments, tips, pointers are greatly appreciated....

wana get done this sat afternoon..


thanks in advance......
