RE: how to change oil in a KB?
Not to sound unhelpful but calling Kenne Bell will give you the best and safest recommended directions for this. They're pretty helpful and shouldn't mind giving your any upkeep tips you might need.
I don't know the exact oil they use in Kenne Bells but I do know this. DO NOT OVERFILL IT. Overfilling can lead to leaks and eventually bigger problems. My whipple has a drain plug on the side that you can empty things out with and when I opened the access point on the top (the thing you unscrew to look in it), the dipstick was attached to it. Again, this is a different brand twin screw so I can't help you with the KB unless I could look at it. Mine took something like 5w50 which isn't a very common oil so I had to order it. It only took a very small amount (much less than 1 qt).
