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

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Warm Up the Engine

Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes. This helps the oil drain out smoothly by thinning it. Turn off the engine and ensure the ATV is on a level surface.

2. Locate the Drain Plug

The drain plug is located at the bottom of the engine. Place the oil drain pan underneath to catch the old oil.

3. Remove the Drain Plug

Using a socket wrench, carefully remove the drain plug. Allow the oil to completely drain into the pan. Be cautious as the oil may be hot.

4. Replace the Oil Filter

While the oil is draining, locate the oil filter. Remove the old filter and replace it with a new one. Ensure the new filter is properly seated and tightened.

5. Reinstall the Drain Plug

Once the oil has fully drained, reinstall the drain plug. Make sure it is securely tightened to prevent leaks.

6. Add New Oil

Using a funnel, pour the new 4-stroke engine oil into the oil fill cap. Refer to your owner's manual for the correct oil capacity. Check the oil level with the dipstick and add more if necessary.

7. Check for Leaks

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