Oil change 08 Apex?

[shawnj]

I have done this and filter the first year. Going to change oil only this year for now. I cant remember but was there two drain plugs/tanks and do you have to fill each of them back up or can you fill the main one only. Thanks.

Your manual will tell you exactly what to do on this....I think that there are two places for the oil to drain, and even a screen filter which needs to be washed. I believe the manual will tell you to add oil to the tank, then crank to get oil going then recheck...at least it did with my 04 yam...

same with my 06 apex
dont loose the o-ring on the filler plug/ dipstick
and dont screw the diptick in when checking oil level

Ok thanks. I think I got it. I drained tank and crankcase. I didn't see a screen or remember one from last time either, may not have one here. I found in the maual about filling tank then running for a few minutes then topping it off, and yes I seen the part about not screwing in the dipstick. Not sure if I read that part last time...
The manual states 3.0 L with filter change
2.8L oil change only,
Total 3.8L.
Where the heck do they come up with 3.8 litres. I got exactly 2.8 litres in and it is right at the correct level.(I didn't change filter this time around)
