Now that we're on the subject, how do I change the oil on this thing? Is it simply opening the lower bolt to drain, and filling from the upper bolt? What oil should I fill it with?

Looks right on the drain and fill, probably a splash feed with a little blade on the bottom of the con rod (dipper-slinger). For oil I'd check for recommendations but 20 or 30 weight would probably be fine,doesn't even need to be detergent.
