Run the engine for a few minutes to get the oil warm. Stop the engine and then remove one of the 10mm hex head plugs that are at the base of the engine both front and rear. Tilt the engine/kart slightly to help get everything out and keep a look out for where the sealing washer goes. Once drained refit the plug and washer

Then remove the white/light grey plastic dipstick at the front of the engine and fill with fresh oil. I use 475ml, others use 425 or 450ml. I'll not recommend which oil to use, do a search on this forum and decide if you want to be a sheep or not.

I personally remove engines to do the oil change but many people do it on the kart.
