Can someone please tell me where the engine oil plug is for a 1998 Heritage springer softail annv? Or does anyone know if there is only one plug ? any help will be appreciated I have no service manual!

 

Start the bike and warm it up. This will make the oil easier to flow out, as well as insure that all the oil is scavaged out of the crankcase and into the oil bag.

You will find the drain plug on the right side in the frame. It is right near the swing arm bolt in the bottom of the frame. You will have to get the bike up a little or feel for it. It is kind of recessed into the bottom of the frame and faces down. The plug is 5/8" with an allen head recess in the center of it. You can use a socket or an Allen wrench, but I recommend the socket, at least to get it loose. You need to loosen the filler cap so that the oil will drain good.

You will need a filter wrench that will go on the filter but clear the electrical plug to the stator in the left side of the cases. HD makes a couple that will work. Place a piece of cardboard under the filter to make a little funnel so you spill a minimal amount of oil when you take the filter off.

Hope this helps.

 

In my 99 FXST (Evolution motor as yours), the oil drains from the oil tank inside a black rubber hose. There is no engine oil plug attached directly in the motor. Just look for one of the hoses that go from under the oil tank and that don't attach to anywhere. At the end of this hose, you'll have remove the metal plug to let the oil to drain. Remember doing this with the warm oil.
