Dyna engine oil is on the left side bottom of the oil pan near where the jiffy stand rests when up and straight in from the side. The primary is under the middle of the primary case on the left side facing the ground and the transmission is under the right side of the oil sump case about mid way from front to back. All are 1/4 inch ALLEN socket heads inside 5/8 inch hex plugs. All use an o-ring and thread sealant.
Softail is the same except the engine oil drain is on the right side at the rear of the frame down tube near the swing arm attachment point and faces the ground.

Sportster engine oil drain is on a rubber tube hanging down under the frame near where the jiffy stand rests when in its up position and the transmission and the primary use the same drain plug and are the same oil. The engine oil plug is a 5/16 inch plastic plug held in place with a mini worm screw clamp with a plain screwdriver or ¼ inch hex worm drive fitting.
You change the oil by locating the drain plug in the oil pan, the plug is usually located on the side or the rear of the pan. Place a pan of some sort under the plug to catch the dirty oil once the plug is removed. Replace the drain plug and refill the vehicle with oil. If you are doing this at home, you should have car ramps to drive the front of the vehicle on, or jack up each side and put a jack stand on the frame on each side.
