Default question about oil change

Hi, i'm planning to do my own oil change but I'm not sure which are the two drain plugs are, don't want to take out the wrong plug.
heres two pics that I think are the plugs please correct me if I'm wrong.

the second ques is what is the filler tube for? the one right beside the gas cap.
I dont have a owners manual, in process of getting one, Thanks.

The fill next to the gas fill is for window washer fluid.

The typical oil change is drain the engine sump and the oil tank.

Engine drain is a bolt plug that faces to the left side. Neither of the two in your pictures are correct, as one would expect, the drain is at the lowest point of the engine case. You seem to have pictures of the tranny.

The oil tank drain is just ahead of the right wheel.

Yes, those are the transmission fill/level and drain! No offense, but if you don't know the difference between the tranny and the engine you should get help from someone experienced, wait for the manual, or have it done at a P-Car shop..

Drain plug for the case is on the left side of the engine "spine" and the drain for the oil tank is right next to the right rear jack point. Poke a hole in the filter and don't bother with the plug for the oil filter as it'll just soak your wheelwell with oil.

I'd suggest Adrian Streather's book as a minimum before oil ends up in the wrong place.

yeah thats what I thought, but I read that the drain bolt was lined up to the rear wheel well.
anyways thanks for all your help, I did the oil change and it runs smooth.
