Yes, the engine drain plug is horizontal on an '88 3.2L. If you know what oil the PO used you might consider using the same; especially if it was a synthetic. I think the 88's were factory filled with Mobil 1.

+1 on the oil coming out fast! It's such a large hole that the majority of it comes out in a manner of seconds.
