If you can't find straight weight oil a 10w30 will do - although within 30 seconds I found that Advanced still has 30w conventional oil. I have a bottle that I use for this purpose - I'm guessing 10 years old at this point. I change every other year or so and it doesn't use much.
Oh and those 2 drain plugs are the ones: lower to drain, upper to fill (Don't forget to put the lower one back in BEFORE you try to fill. I tried it the other way and it leaks all over!! Big mess!)

LOL, ONLY IF YOU REMOVE THE DRAIN PAN TO SOON!
