Default Electraglide 91 drain plug.

Greetings!

Where is the engine oil drain plug(s) on EG 1991? Can not find any instructions at the Internet.

Thank you.

Thank you!

So It`s 2 drain points: 1. Bottom the oil tank. 2. The oil filter (the lowest point).

Correct?

The oil filter won't drain much, the Harley engine is a dry sump, but yes, that's all you need to pull.

I remove the filter first. A big screwdriver and hammer is the easiest way to get that off I find! Then drain the tank and I use the cardboard tube from a large paper roll as a disposable funnel (from kitchen tissue) to direct the oil and plug into a bowl. Fit new filter, refill tank, run engine to confirm oil is circulating, then top up.
