I was trying to change the oil in my 99 Ultra CAlssic today and a strange thing happened. When I removed the drain plug and filter only a couple of quarts or less of oil drained out. Im positive it was nearly full when I started and there is still oil on the dipstick indicating that there is still oil in the pan. So why won't the rest of the oil drain out? Is there another drain plug somewhere? I removed the one on the shifter side at the bottom of the trans cover I believe it is. First time this has happened. Thanks.

The one pointing to the floor. Maybe I did drain the tranny. I dunno. It's been a while since I did this myself and I couldn't remember where the oil pan plug was. Wouldn't be the first time I did something goofy like that. I'm not real mechanically inclined.

yup..you drained the trans :clap: no worries it probably needed it anyway. The oil pan plug faces forward and is more toward the left side of the bike...now go ahead and do the primary and yer good

Well this isn't the dumbest thing I've done so I guess I'll just live and learn. Closest dealer is 1.5 hrs away is there any particular recommended fluid besides Harley stuff? And where do you put it in ? lol Oh, and what is a primary?

Thanks to everyone that helped. The couple that weren't can go suck a hot exhaust pipe. Got it changed today. Tomorrow the primary!

Well it turns out that I didn't drain the tranny after all. I drained the primary by mistake first. So now I've done all 3. Hopefully by the time I need to change them again I'll remember whats where. I know, get a service manual. I heard y'all. Thanks again.
