Which drain plug on my '07 Superglide? : V-Twin Forum: Harley Davidson Forums

There is a drain plug on the left, rear side of the pan on the vertical surface and one about mid-way on the right side on the bottom surface. Which one drains the engine oil? The Cylmer's manual is unavailable in Canada at this time.
Thanks

if the 07 is the same as a 05 the bolt head on side of the pan is the oil. the hex head on the bottom is the tranny, and the real small hex on bottom of the primary cover in line with the cover plate drains the primary. the 05 is a 88cc. when you buy the oil they should have a service book with a pic. you will need a o ring and teflon tape.

Horizontal left side oil drain.

Both drain plugs are identical; 5/8" hex socket size and 1/4" allen wrench depression. Looks like the left rear is the one I am after at this point.

Left rear is correct.

Thanks all.
I got it done. Really feels good that I saved myself a bunch of $$$. I must agmit that I had a he11 of a time getting the filter off. Went out and purchased a few types of wrenches which didn't or wouldn't work. Oil all over the place but next change will go much smoother. I felt like a rookie.
Again, thanks
