Maybe a dumb?
This may sound kinda dumb, but I've taken off all the lower panels on my 2012 RS SM 5 and I can't find any crankcase oil drain plug. In my shop manual there is no mention of a crank case oil drain, but everything else to change the oil to remove the crankcase oil plug after draining the oil tank. I've removed the panel under the oil filter housing but still don't see any crankcase plug. There is no drain plug on the back of the engine by the oil filter cover. What am I missing? Thanks for any help.

Jack your RS up a bit and look underneath the engine area. Remove the bottom panel underneath the oil tank.
You should see the reservoir drain plug now.

It is hidden by the plate that supports the reverse gear cable. It is just behind it. It is probably has an Allen key slot in it or a Torx key slot. I changed mine out for one with a regular hex head plug.
