A couple of questions about my Sporty...

OP Update
Ok, so I went ahead and changed the oil and filter last night. I let it drain for a good 20-25 minutes and put the full 3 quarts in there, minus the 4 oz. I put in the filter. I took it for a quick (2-3 mile) ride this morning and checked the dipstick about ten minutes after I shut the engine off. The oil level is exactly halfway between the add the full lines on the dipstick. So, I'm assuming this is good to go as long as I check it once a week or so.
Also, I pulled the filter cover off again this morning to check for oil. I had wiped the excess off the inside of the filter cover last night and there was no new oil there so I think that's good to go too.
Final question is: I hand-tightened the worm clamp on the drain hose and I noticed some oil around the seal on the lug nut this morning. How tight should that worm clamp be tightened? I don't want to snap the thing off...
Thanks for all the replys.
