2008 Mazda 5 sump plug where?
 
Being new to this forum, and having searched all threads and posts, can anyone tell me where the engine oil sump plug is located on a 2 litre petrol?
I've found the 'hole' in the under tray for the oil filter but not the sump plug (and I was alarmed at one post who mistook gearbox drain from engine drain thus emptying the gearbox - I am equally capable of this!).
I also understand that Mazda service records are held centrally and only accessible by Mazda dealers. Is this true.
Finally where can I get a service schedule from?
Any responses to the above gratefully received.

Drop the tray; you'll see the plug in the usual place on the oil pan.

Thanks Shipo,
Pretty obvious really.
Is sump plug removed with alen key or socket?
Kind regards

Don't know; I never remove mine (I use an oil extractor and suck the oil out via the dipstick).

If its the 2.0 LF engine it should have a 17mm bung.
