Tools and Materials Needed

  • Oil drain pan
  • Socket wrench set
  • Funnel
  • New oil (check your owner's manual for the recommended type and amount)
  • Clean rags

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Prepare Your ATV

Ensure your Timberwolf is on a level surface and the engine is cool. This will prevent burns and ensure all the old oil drains out completely.

2. Drain the Old Oil

Locate the oil drain plug underneath the engine. Place the oil drain pan beneath it. Use a socket wrench to remove the drain plug and 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 an oil filter wrench to remove the old filter. Before installing the new filter, apply a small amount of new oil to the rubber gasket on the top of the filter. Screw the new filter into place by hand until it is snug, then tighten it an additional quarter turn.

4. Add New Oil

Remove the oil fill cap on the top of the engine. Using a funnel, pour the new oil into the engine. Refer to your owner's manual for the correct oil capacity. Once filled, replace the oil fill cap.

5. Check Oil Level

Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes. Turn it off and wait a few minutes for the oil to settle. Check the oil level using the dipstick and add more oil if necessary to reach the full mark.
