    nah youre fine if you put a quart in the engine and 1.1 quart in the oil box.. youd be fine.. but if you put 2.1 in the oil box and then added 1 quart to the engine.. you got 3.1 quarts..

    you can divide it is fine.. but i normally drain both engine and box out.. and then just fill the oil box and let it set for a few hours. after awhile.. your oil box dipstick should be LOW.. but everyone knows youre suppose to run your engine for 3 minutes and then check the dipstick. try that.

    BIG bolt on the bottom, unscrew it. There is a washer...so don't lose it. This blackish-brownish stuff will start to come out, that's oil. Then on the right side of your engine is a circular looking thing with 3 bolts. That would be the oil filter. There are very significant parts in that, so be careful when you unscrew it. Take out old filter, clean out the inside....install new filter. Then, screw back in your little plug WITH washer (it will leak without it...durrr.lol), Then unscrew the dipstick on the oil resevior (spell?). Pour in specified amount, (I forgot how much.) I always use Valvoline 10w-40 ATV/motorcycle oil, good viscosity for where I live. If it's not ATV/Motorcycle oil, then its gonna screw up your clutch. And uh......thats about it. OH YEA, screw the dipstick back in. lol.....

    Correct me If im wrong on anything, Im pretty sure im not though.

    Actually I wasn't, maybe this part sounded like it-This blackish-brownish stuff will start to come out, that's oil.

    That was the only stupid part. Other than that, I was trying to help you.

    BTW, don't forget to drain the oil from the oil res. too.
