17mm oil drain plug on the side of the engine right under oil fill tube: 10w30. There is an access whole under the driver's side of the cart.

Welcome Nick
Also, it's not a bad idea to refill with synthetic oil. |

I used Mobil 1 10w30 in my G16. It works well. If your engine has some wear, check the oil level the first few weeks if you change over. Synthetic contains cleaning agents that can clear away some gum and varnish and possibly cause leaks.

I also like to add a bit of Lucas synthetic oil stabilizer. Considering these things are stop and, constant stop and start I think its a good way to have extra protection.

Re: 1997 yamaha gas g16a cart oil change?
This is a BAD idea!! These small engines work on a splash system. Any thick additives could cause improper lubrication and damage to certain parts of the engine. I HIGHLY recommend that anyone DO NOT!!! use any thick oil additives in these small engines with the splash system!!!
