Not sure, but look for 2 tabs with screws in them, sticking out below the seat 
back. Remove the screws and then lift the back up and out.

Modern oils are better and better. Avoid extra wide range oils and extra heavy 
oils. If it is too thick it won't flow thru the bearings well when the engine 
is cold. If you find that you want thicker oil because too much is leaking out 
somewhere, it's better to just fix the leak.
