Okay, I recieved my 03 SSV in October of last year and had the oil changed when I winterized it.
Today (after 50 hours so far this season) I was going to change the oil. 1st get everything set up put the fake-a-lake on warm up the engine and followed manual...put drain plug through the drain plug opening. PROBLEM it does not fit!!! So I decide to get out the hand pump and bring the oil out through the dipstick, well the tube is too big of a diameter to fit in the dipstick. About 2.5 hours later here I sit without the oil changed.
It was so much easier on the old direct drive!
Can someone give me some pointers? Does your Quick Drain fit through the drain plug? Are you using a pump to remove the oil?
Thanks.
