Engine oil or transsmission fluid?
I am going to change the engine oil for my 1998 galant. However, there are two tanks down there (one in driver side close to filter and the other one is on the passenger side) and both have a bolt which looks like the bolt to drain engine oil. Whcih one is the engine oil bolt and what is the other one for?
Thanks!
It sounds like galant do have a bolt to drain the transimmis

The reason I asked the above question is that the guy in Autozone said the structure for transsmission oil is different from engine oil, Basically you can not drain your transsmission fluids. You have to unscrew a panel something and it sounds quite complicated to do that job.
However, I unscrewed both bolts and there were oils coming out at both tanks and now both tanks are empty and I do not know what to do now. May be you guys are right. Galant may have designed the way to change its transsnission fuild in the same way like changng its engine oil.

put both bolts back in lol. now go back in the engine bay and check ur fluids. im guessing once is tranny and one is engine oil. just make sure to fill them both back up. some cars actually do have drain plugs for tranny fluid. so yea. just make sure u replace each with the approriate type of fluid. might want to get a new tranny filter too possibly.
i hope that wasn't coolant u drained...woo hoo if it was black like oil haha just be happy u drained it then lol
