Under your engine. To drain it you remove the oil plug which is nothing more than a bolt.

Altho if you are asking such a basic question, maybe you shouldnt be draining it.

just so you can learn, jack your car up... put it on jack stands so you dont get crushed!!!! Then look for the honeycomp looking pan directly under the engine, thier is a bolt (i think it is a 10mm) on the back bottom side, with a oil pan right under it remove the bolt..... oil will stream out, when it has stoped remove the oil filter again with the pan under it..... when all the oil has stoped dripping ( i still dump one bottle of oil in just to flush it) reinstall the bolt and new oil filter. (make sure to put some oil on the cork gasket on top of the new filter... or it will leak) fill with oil through the oil cap on top of the engine. start the car.... make sure of no leaks and bam you done!!!! should take no more the 30 min. your first time, after a few times you can do it in about 10-15 min. max!! good luck!! EVERYONE NEEDS TO KNOW HOW TO CHANGE THIER OIL!!!

Its 13mm bolt and yes it took me 30 minutes first time now i do it in 10 minutes the delay is for the oil to flow out.
You will also need a wrench for the filter.

you wont always need a filter wrench if it on there correctly.....if you dont have a filter wrench and its on there kinda tight then you can use a screwdriver and a hammer....ive had to do it that way alot of times
