Tools and Materials Needed

  • Oil filter
  • 4-stroke engine oil (10W-40 recommended)
  • Oil drain pan
  • Socket wrench set
  • Funnel
  • Clean rags

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare Your ATV

Ensure your TRX200D is on a level surface and the engine is cool. This will prevent burns and ensure accurate oil drainage.

2. Drain the Old Oil

Place the oil drain pan under the engine. Use a socket wrench to remove the drain plug located at the bottom of the engine. Allow the old oil to completely drain into the pan. Once drained, replace and tighten the drain plug securely.

3. Replace the Oil Filter

Locate the oil filter on the side of the engine. Use the appropriate tool to remove the old filter. Before installing the new filter, apply a small amount of new oil to the rubber seal of the filter. Install the new filter by hand, ensuring it is snug but not overtightened.

4. Add New Oil

Remove the oil fill cap and insert a funnel. Pour the recommended amount of new 10W-40 oil into the engine. Check the oil level with the dipstick to ensure it is at the correct level. Replace the oil fill cap securely.

5. Check for Leaks

Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes. Check around the oil filter and drain plug for any signs of leaks. If there are no leaks, your oil change is complete.
