wrong drain plug open
while prepping for oil change on 2001 road king, I removed the wrong drain plug. This (wrong) plug is located on a pan forward of the actual oil pan. what was this pan? I let out a cap full or so of oil before I realized my mistake. Is this a concern?

it's the sump and you did no harm. Just be careful putting that plug back in because I believe it is tapered so you just have to snuggle it up with some thread sealant. Do not over tighten or you could crack the pan

Let me guess....
You removed item 21.
Golfblues has you covered.
This plug serves no purpose other than to cause people aggravation and sometimes money.

If he's kept the secret for 2.5 years, who's to say he's gonna give it up now ... but keep after him
