I'm in the middle of an oil change. I was told it would take about 5 quarts. Problem is, I'm only getting about 2-3 quarts out. And it is coming out ever so slowly.

Are there two drain plugs? I only found the one under the oil filter.

Thanks for the help guys.

There are 3 drain plugs. One by the oil filter, one at the rear of the motor similar to the one by the oil filter (These drain the sump).
Then there is one in about the center of the motor, close to the kick stand area. This one drains the oil tank itself.

Yeah, I agree. The local shop wanted $65. I changed the Rocket's oil and the oil in my car with synthetic and new filters for under $65.
