Hi Keith, I have a 79 Chrysler 45 hp and recently did the same search. Manuals available this site altho the original Chrysler manual is no longer in print. You can get by with Seloc version, it's just a little hard to read because it covers several models and you have to keep checking to be sure your reading the right info. In the lower leg there are two screws. The top one is to check level and the bottom screw hole is to add oil. Seems weird but that's it. You remove both screws, (careful not to tamper with the shift pivot screw just to the right) thus draining all old oil from bottom screw hole. Then insert the nozzle of the new oil container, push it in tight, then squeeze the new oil in, (about 20 oz) till it comes out of the top hole. Then put the screw back in the top hole, (with your other hand, ha ha) then remove the oil nozzle and replace the bottom screw. Nothin to it. Mike
