Have put about a half litre of neat antifreeze into the engine oil filer point by mistake, similar containers.

Obviously I now need to drain the engine oil/antifreeze out and refill with oil. This car is a Peugeot 406 with a 2.0 litre turbo petrol engine. I cannot find the drain point! Can anyone tell me this, and also if I dare run the engine at all before the change? I need to move it to get underneath

Answers:
The drain plug is a nut on the sump on the nearside.

Drain it off. Flush with clean oil, change the oil filter, then refill. Don't even think about starting the engine until you've done all that. New engines are expensive!
Dont know where the drain is but I do know that whatever you do DONT RUN THAT ENGINE ! xxx
dont start it ,as for the drain plug,it has to be at the bottom of the pan,call and ask dealer or local lube shop
do not turn on the engine whatever you do!

there should be a nut underneath the car right where the lowest point of the engine is
There should be a drain plug on the sump but you wont be able to see it until you get underneath.
DO NOT RUN IT..DO NOT RUN IT>>> should i say it again? it would wreck the turbo right away and the motor right after that!!! call the dealer for the drain location.. it has to at the bottom of the engine. oh and do not run it.
Could be an expensive mistake. Make sure you do use a flushing oil to remove any residue. The handbook should tell you where the drain plug is found. If you put the car up on ramps I am sure you will find it on the sump. The anitfreeze should drain out okay as it will not naturally mix with oil - that is as long as you do not start the engine..
By now if you haven't heard..DO NOT START ENGINE.not even to move it an inch. Push it in neutral to move.

As long as you have not started the engine since, a simple oil change and flush will be sufficient to clean up the issue.

Remember, don't be affraid to flush the engine with a lot of oil. A few cases of oil are a hell of a lot cheaper than a new engine.
They make little pumps with a small hose on the end to suck liquids up. check a auto parts store
