How do you change engine oil in 2000 road king?

Answer 1

To change the engine oil in a 2000 Road King. Step 1. Warm up bike to operational temp.(This will thin the oil and help flow) Step 2. Locate the oil drain plug. (All touring bikes have three 5/8 drain plugs under the bike. One on the right side by the exhaust for the trans, One on the left side for the primary oil and one in the middle faceing the front wheel for the engine oil.) Step 3. Remove the engine oil drain plug and let oil drain until it stops. (Bike should be up right not on the side stand.) Step 4. Replace the rubber o-ring on the drain plug(H-D part #11105 and apply liquid Teflon to the threads) Return the drain plug to the oil pan do not over tighten!!! Step 5. Replace oil filter (H-D part # 63798-99A) Partaily fill oil filter with fresh oil (H-D 20-50) With your finger put a film of oil on the filter gasket. Install filter .Tighten filter until gasket seats and turn one half turn. Do not over tighten!!!!!! Step 6. Fill oil tank with 3.5 qts H-D 20-50 oil ( the manual calls for four qts but this is for dry applications only. Putting four qts in will cause the engine breather to blow oil into the air filter and could also blow out gaskets and seals causing leaks.) Step 7. Start the bike and bring to operating temp. Shut down bike and check oil on the dipstick with the bike on the side stand the oil should be in the middle of the add and fullhot range. Top off oil if needed. Check for leaks at the drain plug and filter.
