Motor Drain Plug?

2014 RT oil drain plug small Green O ring #25 in fiche is part# 420430115

The OM says to take off top right panel; this involves removing the mirror, wind deflector, and top panel, then wrap a rag around the filter as you pull it out. Basically thats it. I've had panels off on my previous '11 and its no problem especially since the filter is good for 9000 miles. I've yet to be convinced that any oil will last 9K miles and will be testing it at 4 or 5K to see if I can syphon a sample out of that top tank. I'm leaning more towards a 5K change until proven otherwise.

I'm still about 1000 miles from when I want to change mine and thus far the dealer doesnt have any filters in stock, although they are on order.

Then you have those O rings to deal with on one of the drain plugs as well as the filter. Betcha anything the dealer won't have those in stock!:sour:

Dealer does not carry 2014 RT oil drain plug O rings yet, need to order.
The small green O ring #420430115 needs to be replaced every oil change, (buy a spare).
The engine drain plug is angled slightly toward rear, if dealer is not careful when installing drain plug at an angle,
the small green O ring is torn, like I found mine was when I changed the oil in 2014 RT!!!
The rest of O rings should be good to use over & over for oil changes.
I bought 1 of each O ring, 12 & 14mm copper washers for a spare if needed; (expensive price, will kill a $100 bill).
The 2014 RT oil change is super easy compared to a 2013 RT!!!
Texas has a great 2014 RT oil change blog with list of O ring#, & photos.
Enjoy.

Northern Tool has nice Torx

Picked up a T40 and T45 3/8 drive socket for $3.98 ea. Made in Taiwan and looked like nice quality. They also had them in 1/2" drive if you prefer.
