Finally got around to changing the oil and it was a breeze.There being no oil filter made it so much easier and much less messy.The business coupe sits up high enough where I was able to lay on my back and wiggle under it and remove the drain plug. While waiting for the oil to drain,I cleaned the plug and two brass washers and after waiting for about an hour I reinstalled the plug and put in Fram conventional 30 weight detergent oil. The original owners manual states that the crankcase hold seven quarts but after adding a little over six, the dipstick showed full. I took it out for a short spin and rechecked the stick and it was still up to the full line.
Great to see clean oil in the engine again. Since I now know how simple it is to change the oil there’s no reason to not do it more often.
