This might help, since the first few emails sound like they came from HD reps or salesmen. We all know the manual is great, but that is why the forums are here, to help others out:

Shows pictures of location of the oil drain plug. Replaced the o-ring, part number I believe is 11105.

That is what I was looking for. Now I can have him back on the rode soon as DMV opens to get his plates and Reg.

Good. Hopefully no major issues. Check the threads on where the drain plug goes. New drain is only a few bucks..also comes with new o-ring.
