My owners manual and chilton book don't say much more than how to check the oil level...
How do I drain it? Is there a plug or would I have to siphon it out? Book says 90W, I have 80-90W from tranny/diff changes; thats good right?

There is what COULD be a drain plug but I can't get a good look without jacking it up and getting in that way but there is a ton of junk in that side of the engine bay.

Also, on the gearbox there are 2 bolts, one is nylon for topping off and checking the level and the other one gets no mention in my books but it is shown in the diagrams. It had a flathead fitting and a hex-head. What is it???

No big hurry as the oil looked alright and did not smell but i just know that it is 31 years old and that bothers me, a lot.

Cheers!
