I don't..

I feel like a complete douche bag when i say this but ive never done it. Don't know how either.

The funny thing is, i ran all my fuel lines, installed my carb, radiator a bunch of stuff. I usually do all my own work, but never have ventured into changing my oil.

That is funny. It's okay. You're not alone in this world. I know people that would probably be "you're supposed to change it?!"

I just take mine to the local Valvoline place and get the full synthetic. Its too difficult to change my own oil at my apartment complex.
