Once you have the quarter turn, you have to pull it out some then it will turn a little more and pull out a bit farther to open the drain. No block drains that I am aware of, so sorry.

There's an accessable drain plug on each side of the block. One's right next to the the crank position sensor and the other's next to the oil-filter mount. I think both require an allen-key wrench.

Edit: Just looked at a drainplug on my block. It was a 14mm hex headed plug. So it could be either.
