I am getting ready to help my nephew change the oil on his 300EX - is it as easy to do as the 400?

Also, any issues or problems to avoid? Changing the oil is simple enough (or should be) but I want to make sure we get it done right...

the 300 only has one drain plug and the filter change is the same

the manual tells you how to do it, pretty simple really... unless you drop the plug in the oil, burn your hand trying to get it out, and mak a huge mess (which after 5 years of changing oil in everything my family owns, i still can't avoid doing:rolleyes: )
