The bolt you have to take off to drain the oil out of the engine. Just read the manuals and you will see everything.

u have to take out a bolt to drain the old engine oil out, but if you use the wrong spanner the bolt gets round and you'll never get it off 8O

i believe they are all 17mm in size bolts, so just use that size spanner and your fine. I just changed my oil 3days ago and the car runs soo much better, u can hear the tone of the engine instantly and call me weird but the car is producing a much nicer odour from the exhaust :P
