Have the same set up. No drain plug on the Kanzaki. Only way to change oil is vacuum / pump thru the dip stick. Be very careful when filling to get correct amount of oil. To mark on dip stick with it screwed in all the way. I believe straight 30W is recommended??

The filler and dipstick cap is accessible on the top and I think there is a drain plug on the side somewhere that is far less accessible. My current thoughts are that I should be able to drain the transmission oil from the filler/dipstick opening using an oil removal pump in the same manner as I drain the engine oil. I am thinking the vacuum style oil change pump with a long enough hose to make access relatively easy Is this a common practice and would it work? Mike Persistence Halifax, NS
