RE: Getting All of the old oil out of crankcase!
You will never get all of the oil out. I generally start with the bike on the kickstand, then lean it over to the right, back straight up and to the left (repeat).
Then I'll put it on the jack, and lift it up just a bit, and leave it for a few hours. But you'll still never get all of the old oil outta the engine.

Okay, has anyone figured out how to get all of the old oil out of the sportster motor? If so will you share? I hate dirty oil. The bike is a 2004 sportster.

Okay, the small drain plug is underneath the crossmember on the frame. You have to cut down a 3/16 ths hex wrench to about a half inch long on the short side to axcess it. Although I did not remove the plug all the way out, I losened up almost all of the way out and what appeared to be oil was seeping out. It was brown in color just like my oil. I dont think it was primary fluid because I just changed it yesterday.
What Im not sure of is, will this oil be replaced when you refill the tank or not.

I found the little plug on bottom of motor too much trouble to mess with .
I did find in a preformance book that recomends filling the oil tank before installing oil filter , rig up a coke bottle to catch oil , start engine & let run until clean oil runs out at filter fitting . Stop engine . check & fill to proper oil level , this was called the 5-quart oil change . Should add to engine life .
