The site glass it the transmission oil...There is a drain plug on the bottom of the engine toward the back in the center. It will be the only "bolt" pointing straight down. As far as what gas/oil ratio you should run, Everyone on this site will tell you there own "only way to go is" so that part is VERY subject to opinion. I can say that the book says to run 32:1 and that should be just fine for most people that just ride. If you do a search you will find many a debate on this issue.
