Default DRZ 400S OIL CHANGE

Its been awhile since I've owned a bike. I recently bought a DRZ-400S and just love it. Got the bike with only 150 miles on it but no manual.

I notice there is a dip stick on the fork "neck" of the frame. I'm assuming this is an in-frame oil reservoir as the dip stick has (10W-40) stamped on it. Is this where the crank case oil goes?

Do I drain the old oil from the bottom of the engine and refill it through the dip stick hole? If so, how much oil do I add?

How often (miles) should I be changing the oil?

Thanks in advance for your help!
