ok, so i got this 300ex for my girlfriend. bought it from a private owner and he didn't have the owner's manual for it. i'm wanting to change the oil in it but am having way to hard of a time even finding the drain plug, where the heck is this thing at??? deff. not like my 400ex.

so can ya'll help me out here?

where exactly is the drain plug?
what is the capacity?
and does it take 10W-40 like my 400ex does?



thanks for any help!

It is on the bottom of the motor. If you tip it up on the grab bar you can't miss it. It isn't like the 400ex! On the 300 you just drain it from the motor. I think it holds just under 2 quarts and yes it's safe to run 10-40.

tar is correct. Easy to find and takes a 17mm.
