Where is the oil drain plug on a 2005 ford focus?

Im pretty sure I have found it, but I have tried to remove it 2 different times and it wont budge. So either I am trying to remove the incorrect bolt, or they are overtightening it at the shop. If you have a pic, that would be GREAT!!! Thanks.Where is the oil drain plug on a 2005 ford focus?
below is a link to what your oil pan should look like its bottom of engine


the drain plug is on the side of pan and yes if you cannot remove it


the last oil change you have done over tighten the bolt it should be torqued to 15-20 ft pounds in the oil pan it self there are not many threads


if over tighten you will strip the bolt threads then you will need a new oil pan so which way are you turning the bolt? good thing to remember


lefty looses righty to tighten counter clockwise to remove clockwise to install hopefully the link below is your pan you didn't leave enough info


for me to find the exact pan like which car you have Focus ZX3 L4 2.0 Liter FI 121 CID VIN N DOHC


Focus ZX4 L4 2.0 Liter FI 121 CID VIN N DOHC


Focus ZX4 ST L4 2.3 Liter FI 140 CID VIN Z DOHC


Focus ZX5 L4 2.0 Liter FI 121 CID VIN N DOHC


Focus ZXW L4 2.0 Liter FI 121 CID VIN N DOHC


so I took a wild guess





Hope this helps

The sump plug is a No.13 tapered bolt with its own rubber seal in a groove between it and the sump proper. The sump plug is at the bottom of the sump (naturally enough), which should be a big metal buckety thing under the crankcase.





In general try to remember the principle ';tighty righty, lefty loosen';, which should help you in getting the damn thing off. Quite often the rubber seal may have melted solid and acts like a glue holding the plug fast to the sump.





The best thing to get the little critter off is a ring spanner, or if that doesn't work try force hammering a smaller ring spanner onto it. If worse comes to worse, you could always weld another piece of metal onto it and get it off that way.





In general you should always replace the sump plug rather than put back the old one. That way you get a new fitted seal.
if you don't know where it is, or how to take it out, don't try to save 10 bucks on an oil change. engines are expensive and if you don't know what you're doing saving like 10 bucks isn't worth a couple thousand for an engine.
