This question may be stupid but this is my first 88. So here we go. I bought an 06 Night-train, Got a 1000 miles on it, Went to change the engine oil. The manual says to remove engine oil drain plug with o-ring and then it refers to a figure #48. The figure #48 shows and refers to the oil tank drain plug. my question is there must be oil in the block and the tank won't drain that so is'nt there a block drain plug the manual say's nothing about it and where is it.

 

When you drain the tank, you are draining almost all of the oil from the system as it is known as a dry sump system. When you remove the oil filter, a little more oil will drain out.

 

I guess I'm used to too many wet sump systems. Sorry for the what may seem to most as a stupid question. Thanks for the quick help Boatman.

 

Firefox,

There is no such thing as a stupid question. The more you do the more you learn, so ask those questions. The only stupid question is the one that you didn't ask.

Before you drain the tank, be sure and run the engine for a couple of minutes to insure that any oil that might have drained into the engine is pumped back up to the tank.

Here is an option. When I do my next oil change, I am just going to remove the return line back into the oil tank to get out that last bit of old oil. The rogue system uses a filter adapter, but I am not sure that is required. Change oil as normal, replace filter, fill up tankwith oil, remove oil return line, start motor and remove old oil from return line until it goes clean. Reattach return line and top off oil tank.
