Try removing your oil filter and then you can see the drain above it on the front side of the block above the oil pressure sending unit. Save the filter and re-use it.

I had trouble finding mine also until I realized that the coolant drain is where they screw in the block heater. If your car has a block heater, remove that. It's not easy to get to but is possible. I do it straight in from the front but had to remove a little dipstick support piece, I think it was.
