Help With My First Talon Oil Change

[CID]

I had my dealer do the first service at 100 miles for 'the record'. So this will be the first one I do.

Is the DCT and engine oil filled from the same filler tube - lower left of air cleaner access? I know there are two drains and the DCT has a separate filter so … what's the scoop? Does the engine oil dipstick measure the DCT oil level too (because it's the same place with two drains)? Answer --> Looks like I'm draining the oil pan and oil tank, so two drain bolts and the DCT and engine share the same oil.

Short version - remove two drain bolts, replace both filters, replace drain bolts, add 6.08 qts, pat myself on the back.

Tips? TIA

I should have added - I have the Trail Armor full skid so the drains aren't marked.

Found the two drains, one vertical, one horizontal. This is going to make a mess, the TA skid has small openings, oil will be traveling across the skid f-o-r-e-v-e-r.

I bought this pan at Walmart, its 7.5" by 7.5" and it fits great. It may work on the Pioneer 1000. Huck sent me a picture of a funnel that made me try this. Thanks Huck.

Damn, glad you posted that - I'da never guessed there was that much oil hiding behind the two filters. I was just about to pop the filter covers off and would have dumped a lot of oil all over the damn place.

I was pleasantly surprised at how little oil caught, and traveled, on the skid - most of it politely drained straight down through the smallish TA openings.
