Default Drain plug?

hey guys, I don't have an owners manual apparently, so I just wanted to make sure this is in fact the drain plug for engine oil before I pop it and drain it lol.

lol I posted a pic.

and obv I have the common sense to find the drain plug. I just like to be %100 sure that it's for what I think it's for so I don't drain it and find out it's for something else's fluid and feel like an idiot.

No offense intended, but there is a big rectangle pan with a bolt in it. THAT is what you are looking for.

And your pic never showed up!!
