"Depending on how close to the ground you are you may have to tilt the outdrive up, loosen the plug, tilt the outdrive back down to drain the oil. Take out the plug in the upper unit on the same port side for better draining. Then you should get the little hand pump that screws into where the bottom plug goes because you will pump the new oil in from the bottom up until it comes out the top plug hole. Install the top plug to help keep the new oil from draining out. Quickly unscrew the pump and install the plug. And you're set. Don't forget to get new plug gaskets."
