I'm all ok with that but the question I have is this,once the drain plug is undone , does the oil  naturally find its way out by gravity or do I need to somehow help it through from the tank to the drain plug?
Surely I can release the pipe from said oil tank and drain oil tank directly aswell as open drain plug?

Is that what you are suggesting?
Many thanks,terminology seems ok to me so far

Hi thanks,yes its been standing for a year now but I'm sure last time I changed it I had 2.5 litres from the drain plug?is it possible that the oil has not drained fully out? If so how and where is it stuck?any help is greatly received.i used to have this bike serviced /looked after but the gentleman has now retired so I'm really just starting out even though I have owned it for 12 years

I have a tiger 500 1953
I have taken the oil out of the sump for an oil change.
The oil tank is from a Bsa Gold Star.
Please can you tell me the correct amount of oil to refil engine,I believe its 3.5 pints?

Any help on this appreciated
