Goog morning,
Yesterday I had to remove the oil reservior to empty the oil during the first oil change. The oil drain plug was situated directly over the muffler and almost impossible to get to, so I beleive this was the best way to insure that all the oil could be drained out.
My question: After removing the reservior, I poured the oil out through the filler cap, instead of removing the drain plug. This seemed to be a quicker solution.
Does this method cause any problems within the reservior, such as the screen or other internal parts?
Engine was burped prior to drainage. Removed close to 3 liters from canister and filter.
The magnetic plug was clean except for a few minute burrs.
Thanks,
Rich
