Steps to Change the Oil
- Warm Up the Engine: Start your TRX90 and let it run for a few minutes. This helps the oil to flow out smoothly when you drain it.
- Locate the Drain Plug: Position your ATV on a level surface. Locate the oil drain plug underneath the engine.
- Drain the Old Oil: Place the oil drain pan under the drain plug. Use a socket wrench to remove the plug and allow the old oil to completely drain out. Be cautious as the oil may be hot.
- Replace the Oil Filter: Remove the old oil filter using an oil filter wrench. Before installing the new filter, apply a small amount of fresh oil to the rubber gasket on the new filter. Screw the new filter into place by hand until it's snug.
- Reinstall the Drain Plug: Once the oil has completely drained, reinstall the drain plug and tighten it securely with the socket wrench.
- Add New Oil: Remove the oil fill cap and use a funnel to pour the recommended amount of new oil into the engine. Check the oil level with the dipstick and add more if necessary.
- Check for Leaks: Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes. Check around the oil filter and drain plug for any leaks. Tighten if necessary.
- Dispose of Old Oil: Properly dispose of the old oil and filter at a recycling center or an auto shop that accepts used oil.
