Default Oil change
1999 flht
Embarrassed to ask but which plug do I pull to change oil. I see directly under crank there would be a plug I can pull as well as under oil pan there are 2 plugs I can pull. I have been trying to hunt down a genuine service manual for both my 1999/flht and the 2002 superglide but no luck yet and would really like to drop the oil on the flh.

On the 02 Super Glide it's the drain plug nearest the jiffy stand. The FLH is more than likely the plug on the left of the crank case. Check your local library in the reference section for some manuals. Pull the dipstick so the oil flows out real good after it's good and warm.

Here is a link to a 1999-2005 FLHT service manual that's a free download. I just downloaded the manual and it only takes a few seconds.

Hope this turns out...

The small plug under the motor is a sump drain & normally is not removed.
