Hi all,
Can anyone shed some light on how to change the engine oil in a 2000 evinrude 8hp 4 stroke? I can't locate the oil filter or the drain plug.

Take your model # and go to shop.evinrude.com and look up your motor. The drain plug screw is on the stbd side just below the power head. You have to take a plug out on the port side to get at the cleanable oil filter. Parts break down will tell all. By the way, the drain plug screw is the same size as the gear case drain screws.
