Icon2 03 Odyssey Oil Change

I'm a noob once again, stepping into working on a J motor now (sold our Accord and Civic). Google isn't being too friendly for images either.

Can someone in detail describe or best post a pic pointing to where the engine oil drain plug is located? I see what I'm thinking is it, but two of them, just off to the right side (driver side) of the flex pipe.

EDIT (aka Update): Found it. I'm having to use a smaller jack, so I had trouble getting my head in a position to see it, not to mention the 'engine oil' stamp with an arrow.

Now to finish the oil change and then spark plugs.

MODS, feel free to delete post.

The "Engine Oil" mark with arrow pointing to the drain plug really makes it simple, doesn't it?

This is how Honda is able to hire any random bozo off the street and turn them into a "Master Tech" within six months.

I place a shop rag over the frame rail to avoid a huge mess after loosening the oil filter and letting the oil drain before completely removing it. If you don't have the ability to clean and re-use the rags, then a plastic grocery bag may be appropriate in its place.

Wearing a glove on your filter removal hand helps to keep the mess to a minimum.

You should also leave the filter cap on your hood latch to avoid forgetting to put it back.
