Taericko Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 I was wondering why Nissan put the oil pan drain plug where not all oil can drain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 I've never had an issue with this? If you do just jack up the truck on one side to tilt it over and allow a bit more out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 If the bolt head was on the bottom, it would tend to catch on things. And the threads would still have to extend into the pan, so there would still be some trapped oil, unless the threaded part was below the pan, which would make it stick down more into harm's way. But yeah, if you jack up one side, you can get a little more out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
