Default 05 Mazda6 3.0 manual gear oil change

I am needing help with the process on how to change the gear oil on my 05 Mazda 6 is a 3.0 5 speed. I know the fill plug sits on top of the tranny underneath the battery box, but where is the drain plug?

This is what I used to drain and fill the transmission oil on my 2005 6S 3.0L 5speed manual when I replaced the clutch earlier this year:


Good luck!
