Just take out the 19mm bolt as that is the drain plug.

I was always going to replace my drain plug with an aftermarket version with a built in magnet as it should pick up any metal fragments that might be floating around in the oil/sump pan, but i never got around to it.
I only please one person per day.

The cross head scew is only there so you can use a scewdriver to unscrew and screw up the drain plug when it's not being torqued
