so i am attempting my first oil change and i don't know which bolt to unscrew to drain the oil. there are two bolts that i think are the one.

i see there is a bolt right beside the filter


and there is another one on this "black box" way under the jeep seems like its the bottom of the engine from what i can tell


please help me out someone let me know if its one of these two or some other one entirely.

thanks

The one on the "black box" also known as oil pan.

O.K I have a question. Can I take out the Bolt right beside the oil filter and put a oil presser censer in there?

No you can't.

well i got it all done i ended up going with the mobile 1 filter and 6qts of royal purple. since this was the first time i have ever done this i must say i made much less of a mess than i thought i was. i have one question now though. with the great performance of the royal purple and the mobile 1 filter how long should i wait to change again?

Make sure you used 5W-20 as that's what the manual requires

next year when oil prices go down thinkin i will change again in 3000 -4000 additional miles mobil 1 extended life oil should be good for 6000 i think feel free to correct the possum if needed
