So, I am attempting my first oil change on the viper as I am tired of paying upwards of $250 for the viper tech to do it. I have the car on jack stands right now (quite an interesting process to get it up there in its own right) and am attempting to get the drain plug out. Am I correct in thinking that the drain plug is the 9/16" hex nut/bolt positioned right/center of the oil pan? If so, that thing is FREAKING welded on there. Im nervous to put so much pressure on it because the car is up on stands (though I doubt I could get the car to move that much where it would fall off the stands). What am I missing here guys? Im giving it everything I got, it won't budge, and I've been known to pump some iron in my day.
also, Im looking ahead to the oil filter, how does it actually come in and out? there is that trianglar A-Frame looking section that seems to be a pretty tight squeeze for the filter, is that the best place to take it out?
