hey guyz... i need help i bought an 02 400ex about a month ago and think it's time to change the tran. oil. I have never changed the oil because the previouse owner said he had just changed it a week prior to selling it to me...... I have no manual or anything what so ever for this....and am doing this from pure mechanic sense.... I believe i would have to drain it from 2 places...from the actual motor, and then from up infront fromt he aluminum "canister" type thing. If that is not what i'm suppose to do let me know. Also how much oil do i need to put into it, and do i fill it in the "aluminum canister" thing up front? --- i know those are pretty stupid questions BUT.... no manual or anything. :-/ ANY HELP PLEASE.!!!

 

The oil tank(in front of the engine),the oil fiter(right front of engine), and on the left side of the engine a 10mm bolt by the foot peg drains the tranny.

The engine is "dry sump" that means oil is not stored in engine, but in the tank. There is oil in the tranny though, but it changes and fills at the same times as the engine.

I recommend you get a book for it but that should help you get er done. Use patience when filling the tank its a pain without the right funnel.
