Default tranny oil plug

I just wanted to verify that the plug to drain the fluid is the black one to the left correct? If so is there a secret to getting off? It's EXTREMELY tight.

yes, the drain plug has the 3/8 square hole in it .
To get them loose I use a 3/8 breaker bar with an 18"pipe on the handle as a "torque multiplyer"

Oh ok. I tried to fit my 1/2 in. drive breaker bar with a 3/8 adapter but it woudn't fit. That thing is in a real bad angle with little room! So buy a 3/8 drive breaker bar thats 18 in? I don't think I have any pipes laying around = (. Thanks hondadude = )

If you need more room just push the button on the lift post and raise the car higherin the air.
If man were meant to work on cars on the ground, God would have made our back legs like a dogs.
