M1100 oil, how do it come out?

[MonsterTom]

Thanks DP.

Another question......Can I reuse the gasket on the filter prescreen cap, or do I need to get another? TIA

I usually reuse them.

Sometimes I turn them over, or surface them on a piece of glass with sandpaper on it. Be careful it doesn't slip off and get bent while tightening.

It's a judgment call.

Oh yeah... there's a bit of a shoulder on that pre screen that got me one time and caused me some terribly messy hassles....

so, if its the smaller one, then what does that other plug do? 

[ungeheuer]

5mm drain plug  .  You might just as well start the thread for stripped drain plugs right now.

It is small but who said 5mm drain plug?  The size of the allen wrench used to extract the drain plug is 5mm, 14mm for the screen filter.  I always fit a new crush-washer, costs pennies.

When pulling your screen filter, be prepared to put a lot of torque on a Johnson Bar to crack  it loose!   
1st time I did mine, it broke loose like a rifle shot, and I thought I broke my engine
