Not a fan (or user) of the teflon tape either but I remembered this video showed the front cowl very well.

If you are going to do your own spanner work, the service manual is a must. Find it in the files section of the R3 group on FB. Get this updated version, it's fully searchable unlike the older upload: Service Manual

I believe there are three drain plugs to remove for an oil change.
