Step-by-Step Guide

1. Prepare Your ATV

Ensure your ATV is on a level surface and the engine is cool. This prevents burns and ensures accurate oil drainage.

2. Locate the Drain Plug

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

3. Drain the Old Oil

Use a socket wrench to remove the drain plug. Allow the oil to completely drain into the pan. Once drained, replace and tighten the drain plug securely.

4. 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 seal of the filter. Install the new filter by hand, ensuring it is snug but not overtightened.

5. Add New Oil

Remove the oil fill cap and insert a funnel. Pour in the new 4-stroke engine oil, checking the level with the dipstick to ensure it is filled to the recommended level. Replace the oil fill cap.

6. 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, your oil change is complete.
