make my first change oil by myself on a Softail Heritage 2008
I want to be sure witch plug do i take of
so my question is were are The 2 drain plug for the motor oil (primairy and motor )

 

Welcome from Hampton Roads Virginia..

The primary is on the left side just under the edge of the big derby covered area. That derby cover must come off to refill. Do not over fill. Just to bottom edge of clutch diaphragm spring. Now would be a good time to check clutch. Top off when hot.

The engine oil bag drain is the bolt in the crossbar frame support.
Go on YouTube and watch some videos. Get a owners manual free and buy a service manual or bootleg CD off eBay.
Changing fluids on a Harley is fairly simple but a who lot more complicated then most cars.

The transmission drain is up between shocks. Break the bolt and then use cutoff paper towel cardboard roll up between shocks to drain to keep mess down.

Use Harley formula + in trans and prim. Correct wt oil in engine. You need three o-rings and a derby cover gasket. Two quarts of formula+ and 4 qts of motor oil. Do the proper levels to manual and dipsticks..Top off when hot.

 

 

Welcome from fellow Canadian biker. Go to Harley website (USA not Canada) and look in owners tab.....You can view owners manuals online. Enter your bike's VIN number. Basic maintenance info including drain plug locations, drain plug torque, and fill capacities.

 

These links have been posted before. Lots of pictures and step by step instructions.

There is a plug on the bottom of the engine case. DO NOT LOOSEN OR TAKE OUT this plug. Watch the "dude world" videos. They are helpful if you do not have a service manual.

 

you tube will be your friend!!!!

 

Yeah because if it's on the internet it's gotta be true...at the very least for basic maintenance get a owners manual. The factory service manual while expensive will save you either from money spent having someone else work on your bike or getting bad info, like a torque spec and either stripping a bolt or worse breaking a bolt off in the engine case or something. Not saying you're getting bad info on purpose but things get lost and changed by mistake...only way to be 100 percent certain the info you have for your bike is the factory service manual. The best method I've found is to use all three resources mentioned here...factory service manual, YouTube and of course some help from this forum. Good luck and welcome

 

This is the drain plug for the oil tank. Located under the swingarm pivot.
