• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

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. :dontknow:
 
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.
 
Jacked'er up a little and finally found the crankcase drain, sorta hidden in there. Thanks.
Mike
