Default Oil?

3 oil question
1. What kind of oil do you put where the cam spins?

2. I assume that the engine oul takes a 5w but I don't know how much.

3. I drained the plug in the very back of the engine. But i couldn't get the the plug back in so I pushed down on the kick start a pinch and the plug would go in. Was this just engine oil or was it some other oil.


Thanks for the help

If you have an owner's manual you should check it out. It really doesnt matter what kind of oil you use but 10w-40 seems like the best oil for cold and hot conditions. 5w oil is good for 50 degrees and less. usually they take 1.5 quarts but it depends on the kind of motor your taking about.

Use 10W40 wet clutch oil (atv/motorcycle oil)
depends what engine you have.....a little over 1 quart.
You took the WRONG plug out. The oil plug is at the very bottom of the engine. You took out the holder for the kick starter return spring assy.
