2000 Polaris 500 cc HO Oil Change
Can someone tell me specifically where the oil drain plug is located on the above quad? Also, does a skid plate need to be removed/dropped to get at it? Finally, what size socket fits the plug?
Thank you,
Scott

To make it easier just drain oil tank the let the motor idle for 20 seconds to remove the remain 1/2 cup of oil in the crank.
I don,t prime or remove crankcase oil plug or remove screen.

At the bottom of the oil tank not motor. The 500 Fuji is a "dry sump" motor not a "wet sump" where the oil is held it the crankcase itself like usual.
