I am getting ready to change the oil for the first time on a 2009 Hyundai Sante fe 3.3l awd. I looked underneath and I am not sure if the plug is for the transmission fluid or the oil. The plug I see is under the drivre's side close to the center of the vehicle. If I need to remove the splash guard, Is that pretty straight forward?

    Thanks, I found it by looking under the car from the passenger side with some light! Originally I crawled under the car from the front side to look around without a light. It helps to have some light to be able to see under there!
