He's correct on filling the motor from the larger (FILL) screw the vent screw is too small to use as a fill port on this little guy. This is NOT the common procedure for most newer outboards however, with those you remove both plugs to flush out the old oil (you don't want the dark smelly stuff in there) then use an adapter and connect it to the lower port. You then pump oil into them and when they are full put the TOP plug in first. This helps till you get the bottom plug in.
