This has two drain plugs in the oil pan - one in the front and one on the bottom towards the back.

I didn't notice this at first, only drained about 1 qt out of the engine, thought the oil light must have been malfunctioning to have not been on, and started worrying something might have happened to the engine from driving it with such little oil.

Then I change the filter, put about 3 quarts in, and check the dipstick and find it to be way overfull. Then, I figured I had to be missing something, looked around and noticed the second drain plug. Then, I had to drain out all the new oil I just put in along with the rest of the old oil, and go get more oil.

Two drain plugs in the same oil pan ... never seen that before. The lower portion of the pan must be somehow subdivided into two sections.
