Need help changing own oil S60

Hi, does anyone here do their own oil changes? My husband always does the maintenance on our vehicles and wants to change the oil. He took a look underneath the car and could not find the drain plug. Any tips on changing the oil?

Thanks in advance,
Tanya

The drain plug would be on the back side of the oil pan. It faces the rear of the car, so you won't see it if you look under the front bumper. You'll need the special tool to remove the plastic filter canister without breaking it. I bought mine from the dealer, but IPD has them too. When you buy the filter be sure that it comes with a new O ring and a washer for the drain plug.
