Where is this plug. Is it the one we remove at the bottom of the oil tank to
drain the oil ?

 Karl,

It is covered in the maintenance manual section 12.3.11 (Page 96).
There appears to be nothing new in the service bulletin.

I think the reason for all the fuss is that some owners do not notice it
is a torx bolt and try and remove it with an Allen key (I have seen this
done).  The plug is also in very tight as it comes from the factory so
the likelihood of damaging it are high.

Once you have got it out for the first time the head is drilled for lock
wire so lock it when you put it back.
