Change an Apex's Chaincase Oil?

[Environmentalist]

Ok, I'm not the most mechanical guy in the world but I was told that I need to change a sled's chaincase oil every season. I know enough to pull the plug at the bottom, put the new in the top. My Apex doesn't have a plug at the bottom?!? First, do I need to change the chain case oil every season? Second, how do I drain it?

Thanks for the help!

It does have a drain plug, it on the inside near the track, on the bottom of the chain case. Look and you will see it.

yep

you'll need a 12mm flat wrench. Get some paper towels as it wants to follow the frame when almost done draining.

Thanks!

Thanks for the info guys!

So if the oil is going to drain all over the floor, I should change it in my father-in-laws shop and not mine.

One more question!

While you guys are helping the clueless...Where is the oil filter and how do I access it?

Thanks!
