Oil change!

Ok guys, heres the scoop. I did drain the tranny, but I meant to. I always use Redline Shockproof tranny fluid. It is bright red and hard to mistake for engine oil. And yes, I did drain the Primary as well. I refilled with 38 oz. of Spectro Primary oil. Yes I do see where it would be easy to mistake the tranny drain plug for engine oil. But I think I found the problem. I unscrewed the allen head plug in the bottom of the engine. I bet the combination allen set screw/bolt in the side is probably the right one. :small3d023: I'll let everyone know how it works out.

Just a warning: Be careful as that Plug (machine access opening) can Crack the engine block If removed ,,,,, or Put back in too tight...

Now you will need a little More oil than thought as the motors "kept oil" was drained..

I like your (our) choice of Redline Shockproof

As Bubbie wrote above, be very careful with the pipe plug at the bottom of the engine case!! This in NOT supposed to be removed.
