Engine oil No. 46 how does this relates to the engine oil type xxWxx?
There is no engine oil drain plug, you change the oil in the oil reservoir under the seat. This motor is a dry sump system, meaning that there is no engine oil pan. The engine oil is circulated from an external oil tank via oil lines to an oil pump bolted to the engine on the right side of engine
PCV stands for POSITIVE CRANKCASE VENTILATION When the engine is running it builds pressure inside of the engine and if the pressure is not released then it will blow out the engine oil gaskets and leak oil.
Low oil pressure meaning detective oil pump end result engine is toast rebuild needed
the oil drain plug is located near the frame, below the oil tank where the swingarm meets the frame at the bottom of the frame on the right side. There is no engine drain location as the engine is a dry sump system meaning there is no oil stored in the engine other than residual oil.
Oil capacity with filter is 6.5 quarts.. meaning if you take the filter out and drain that along with the engine oil, you need to refill the engine with minimum of 6.5 or 6 1/5 quarts of oil!

Yes and no. 2 strokes do not have oil like a car, meaning in the crankcase. the oil is mixed with the fuel and introduced into the engine through either the carburetor or an oil injection set up. the oil/fuel mix is burned in the engine. that's why 2 strokes smoke so much. and on most small two strokes the gearbox is a separate compartment containing engine oil like a regular engine.
"Crank" meaning the starter doesn't crank the engine over to start it, changing the engine oil should have nothing to do with it not starting. If the battery was weak and something was left on, it may have run the battery down. Also check the engine oil level to be sure they put new oil back in or possibly left the drain plug loose and the oil drained out. If the engine was run with no oil in it, it could have seized the engine and it wouldn't crank over, in which case the engine is ruined.
Motor oil is lubricant used for internal combustion engines. Motor oil serves several important functions in an engine. It carries heat away from the engine as it lubricates moving parts and helps to prevent corrosion.
Crankcase oil is engine oil , so yes
