Help,

Can someone describe to me where the oil drain plug is on my smart passion for two 03.
I would appreciate your help.

Frustrated,
seamo

There isn't one unless someone has replaced the stock oil pan with a modified version.
You'll have to pump it out like this...

Apparently there isn't one. See: Evilution - Smart Car Encyclopaedia . A suitable pump is available in the U.S. from West Marine: West Marine: Manual Oil Change Pump Product Display . I use this pump via the dipstick tube to change the oil in my Mitsubishi marine diesel.

There's no drain plug. Start sucking.

The suction pump Old Smart mentions is actually quite handy. If your smart has not had the spin-on oil filter alteration, it's highly recommended. Allows you to put a real decent oil filter on your smart, not the dinky one that is stock. Evilution discusses this too. Good luck.

The spin-on converter (http://64.202.180.37/files/spinon.pdf) is available in North America from British-American Transfer in FL (BAT - MOCAL Oil Control Systems).

reson for no oil plug, oil can not leak on the street. smart. in Germany noone likes oil spills there streets and driveways are much cleaner
