Steps to Change the Oil
- Warm Up the Engine: Start your DS650 and let it run for a few minutes. This helps the oil to flow out smoothly when you drain it.
- Position the ATV: Ensure the ATV is on a level surface and turn off the engine. Secure it to prevent any movement.
- Remove the Drain Plug: Place the drain pan under the engine. Use a socket wrench to remove the drain plug and allow the old oil to completely drain out.
- Replace the Oil Filter: Use the oil filter wrench to remove the old oil filter. Before installing the new filter, apply a small amount of new oil to the rubber gasket on the filter. Install the new filter by hand, ensuring it is snug but not overtightened.
- Reinstall the Drain Plug: Once the oil has fully drained, reinstall the drain plug and tighten it securely.
- Add New Oil: Using a funnel, pour the new oil into the engine. Refer to your owner's manual for the correct oil capacity. 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. If there are no leaks, turn off the engine and recheck the oil level, adding more if needed.
