I am lookin for Sidewinder oil change tricks...
I am coming up on oil change... and have a few ideas I'm not so sure about!
1) can you drain engine/filter then lift rear of sled up high like shoulder height to drain oil reservoir into engine and out drain?
2) can you simply drain engine then use a drill operated pump to suck oil out of tank?
I know I will be installing a remote drain tube to tank but I don't have one now. kinda pissed I spent so much money on a sled and changing the oil has to be a Black Magic trick!

Remove the lower panel on that side and put it back on with rivitnuts. You'll thank me later.

Thanks man... great job on that!
I tried to search but didn't come up with anything in my results except for some random videos from you by not the whole sequence..
Thank you for the detail here... more then confident now if I can find some "rivet nuts"

Dan, you should write a book. How to service your sled, so easy, even a CaveMan can do it. THANKS, from all of us.
