ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BIKE, BETWEEN THE SEAT AND THE MOTOR....
3 quarts engine oil tank;;;;;;;; 1 quart in primary
Harleys don't mix oil with their gas. Harleys have "dry sump" oil systems; instead of there being an oil pan in the engine, a Harley has an oil tank under the seat. The grade you want is 20W50.
The 883 Sportster takes just under 3 quarts of oil
harley 883 fuel tanl vent pipe
it clearly states the information in your owners guide 3 quarts in the oil tank and put 4 oz in the filter before you put the filter on.
there is a petcock on the tank
On the right side of the motorcycle right under the seat is an oil tank. It will have a chrome plug with a dip stick attached. Read your owners manual, there is a wealth of information in it.
It's a hose from the tank to a dummy fitting on the frame....unclamp the hose and the oil runs out. When changing the engine oil, don't forget to also change the primary/transmission oil.
