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.

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.

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 the new oil into the engine, checking the manual for the correct amount. Replace the oil fill cap once done.

6. 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. Use the dipstick to check the oil level, adding more if necessary.
