Hello, I have a Coleman Powermate 5000/6250W and I can not fing the oil drain plug. There is one oil dip stick on each side of motor. Starting to feel like a dip stick myself.

on the compressor end is a plug that when removed is is oil level dipstick. you will need to ad 30 weigh non detergent oil until level is correct by measuring with dip stick. do not overfill, if you do you will need to empty by tipping compressor of on it side.. where did smoke come from . did it smell like oil burning or electrical.

Motor should have a small drain plug at base of motor. Take an empty container such as a antifreeze jug, cut out the top and use this a collection container. Use Teflon tape on plug end when reinstalling.

Most any kind of 4-cycle motor oil like 10W-30 will work in these motors. After draining the old oil replace the drain plug. There are two types of motor oil fill holes: 1. If you have a motor with the oil fill/check hole on the bottom of the motor and a small screw-in plug either with or without a small dip stick on it; with the motor level, fill the crank case with oil until it is up to the threads on the oil fill/check hole. 2. If you have a motor with a long dip stick that goes into a filler tube at the top of the motor, again with the motor level, put in about half a quart of oil and use the dip stick to check the oil level. If not full, add quarter quart amounts and check again until the oil is at the full mark on the dip stick. Do not overfill the crank case with oil. Most motors will take about one quart of oil but it varries so watch to see the oil level come up to the proper level.

For Honda engine, just set in opening (unless it has a push-in dipstick like on auto ),

Briggs, most models, and other brands best to thread in unless stated in manual.

If oil cap is very close to base of engine and does not have an oil level marker, then fill to top thread (many older engines that did not have oil senser).

Your small engines require ordinary 10W30 motor oil.

Don't turn machine on its side or upside down to drain oil, or oil will run into carburetor.
Use a plastic hose to remove old oil

we need to know the make of the motor....most use a SAE30 four stroke oil....not sure of the plug without knowing the make of motor.

You probably overlooked the drain plug, it is usually located on the mounting base of the engine. BUT, there have been some engines (old cheap ones) that the oil was drained by tipping the engine and draining out the oil fill. I am almost positive yours is not one of these.

Your manual is here, but that is only an "insert". It does look like the drain plug is located on the base of the engine. Find the spark plug, and the drain plug is almost directly underneath it at the very bottom of the engine.

More information is available from Subaru's website, including owners manual and especially a service and parts manuals. Your drain plug is item #13 on page 2 of the owners manual located here:

IF IT IS A HONDA ,KEN . JUST UN PLUG THE LOW OIL CUTOUT SWITCH JUST TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE MANY OF THEM GIVE TROUBLE.
IS IT TURNING OVER AND JUST NOT STARTING,OR DOES IT REFUSE TO CRANK? IF THAT IS THE CASE CHECKTHAT YOU HAVE A GOOD EARTH CONTACT.LET ME KNOW WHAT MODEL THE MOTOR IS "YOUDOIT"

on the side of the engine there is a bolt like piece with two round like nodules on it, its plastic.
