You may want to hand screw the plug back in loosely to plug the hole then clean up around the hole with one of those wire brushes you bought before you start working in the area....because as frog mentioned, you don't want to get any of that crud dropping into that hole.
In fact, you should have already sprayed WD40 or PB blaster on the whole bike and cleaned off any loose debris..

If Ya use the oil that's in Her oil tank, (not mixed with anything) only the 2 table spoonfuls..
No need to worry about getting it out at all. And yes its purpose is to help free up Her pistons/rings.
If Your asking about the drain plug on Her oil tank...try to loosen it a bit first,before worrying about it being rusted.
Its probably just fine.
Oh, we never touch anything under Her engine..no drains there at all.
Remember my mentioning "Dry Sump" ? Our Harley's use this system.
Read this sometime..

Oh yeah like a turkey baster thing I bet that would be easier than trying to drain without spilling and get it funneled in without spilling too lol

Exactly
A all in one tool.
Hey, the reason we don't buy certain things from the Dealerships is the cost.
They charge 8 bucks fer a plug..Autozone its 3 bucks...and,they sell NGK brand also.
But, the fact the "Stealership" is so close to You...plus Yer female..and smart...maybe You should groom the
parts department guys a bit. If You decide to do this, keep in mind....They don't know these Classic Harley's like we do.
So all they are good for is getting hard to find parts...all over. They can type in a part number and find out what Dealership has it,
and how fast they can get it shipped..the cost.
But ask them how to set Her carb? or how to set the timing on my Shovelhead? All You will get is a amazed/slack jawed expression. lol

If only I could get my horses to listen to me as well as the show portrays hers to do
This part? It痴 just unscrew those 2 things and the side ones right?
Ordered simichrome should arrive in a day or two maybe while it痴 off I can clean it good too
