Are you sure you're pulling the correct drain plug?
On Harleys with the oil tank under the engine, there are usually two drain plugs, oil and transmission drains.
Also, some have a drain on the bottom of the engine, which only a little residual oil will come out of it.
Finally, when the oil stops draining from wherever you're draining from, does the oil dipstick show that the oil level has dropped?
If not, you got the wrong plug!

Follow the hose that goes to the frame from the oil tank. Loosen the clamp and pull.

SOURCE: oil drain plug

Hi
It is located on the right side just under the oil tank ; if you follow the rudder hose that exits the rear right side of your oil tank it leads to the bottom of the frame under this is the oil plug. This hose has a plug clamped to the end of it or stuck into a prug that is welded to the frame.
After this unclamp and pull the plug to make sure that you have the dipstick out before pulling it loose.

Please do rate the solution as "FixYa" if found useful and revert for further assistance.
Thanks Rylee

Harley 883 sporster iol capacity

If you are talking about the oil you drain from the hose under the center of the engine and after changing the oil filter, about 3 1/2 quarts max, that's counting the 1/3 to 1/2 quart you put into the new filter before installing. I would start with 3 quarts in the oil tank, put back in and tighten dipstick, start up and run bike until it is warmed to normal operating temp and then shut down. Then with it on the jiffy stand unscrew your dipstick, wipe clean and reinstall stick tighten. Then remove stick again and check level. Ideally you want it about half way between the add and full line.

If you are talking about what they call the transmission oil, the one that you drain by removing the plug on the bottom of the left side cover. It takes 32 oz. and is checked having a friend sit on and hold the bike up straight and removing the cover over the clutch (the big round one on the right side of the left case cover) the oil lever when full should be just a hair above the bottom of the clutch gear.

2005 fat boy oil change

Stand the bike upright. Remove the dipstick from the oil tank. Remove the drain plug on the bottom right side of the frame. While the oil is draining, replace the oring on the drain plug. Remove and replace the oil filter, after filling the new filter half full of oil. Replace the drain plug. Put 3 quarts of oil in the oil tank. Replace the dipstick. Start the bike and check for leaks. No leaks, you're done! I use HD Syn 3 synthetic oil in my '04 Fatboy, but you can also use a conventional 20w50, as long as it's made for use in and air cooled motorcycle. Don't use car oil!

How do I change my oil on my 2009 FLSTN

Begin with the bike at operating temperature. Remove the dipstick from the oil tank. Remove the drain plug underneath the bike at the front of the oil pan. It is a 5/8 bolt with an allen hole in it. Do not remove the plug that just has an allen head! After the oil is drained, replace the o-ring on the drain plug and reinstall the drain plug. Remove and replace the oil filter at the front of the motor. Replace the oil (3 quarts). Reinstall the dipstick. Start the bike and check for leaks at the drain plug and oil filter.

Changing transmisson fluid 2006 dyna wide glide

The drain is bottom side of the transmission. It's a plug that takes a hex key to remove and is just towards the center of the pan from the oil drain plug. Your transmission takes 20-24 ounces of fluid. Always check the level with the dipstick when you change the oil.

good luck

Which plug is the oil plug and how many quarts

On a Dyna model after about the year 2000 the engine oil drain will take a 5/8" wrench to remove and it faces the front of the bike, there is also a identical drain plug for the transmission that faces downward. Most dyna models take around 3 quarts of engine oil and about 22 ozs. of transmission oil.

I want to change the oil and filter. Where is the

The oil pan on the Wide Glide is on the bottom of the transmission. There are two drains of the bottom of the oil pan. The drain in the center is the transmission drain plug. The drain at the left front corner is the engine oil drain. Drain the oil with the bike on the side stand. Refill with the three quarts of oil if you change the filter. Two quarts, 14 ounces if you don't change the filter. Start the engine and allow it to run for about two or three minutes. Check the oil level with the bike on the side stand. The dipstick has two marks one mark is "Full Cold", the other "Full Hot". Top the oil level off to the "Full Cold" mark.

I have a 2001 FLHTCUI. Where do you add transmission fluid and is there a dipstick? It says there is in the owners manual but I can't seem to find it.

Yes, there is a dipstick. Right where your engine and transmission come together, there is a round cap about an inch and a half (40mm) in diameter or so with knurled edges. This is the oil spout plug and it has a dipstick. Check your oil with the bike on the side stand. There are two marks on the stick. The two marks indicate Full Hot and Full Cold. The oil level should be between these two marks. Do not overfill the oil tank that is on the bottom of the transmission.

On the bottom of the transmission threre are two drain plugs. The drain plug in the center is the transmission fluid drain, the drain on the left front is the oil drain plug. You engine takes three quarts of oil with the filter change. You transmission take 20-24 ounce of H-D transmission lube.
