Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare Your ATV

Ensure your Grizzly 125 is on a level surface and the engine is cool. This prevents burns and ensures accurate oil drainage.

Locate the oil drain plug underneath the engine. Place the oil drain pan beneath it. Use a socket wrench to remove the plug and allow the old oil to completely drain out. Once drained, replace and tighten the drain plug securely.

3. Replace the Oil Filter

Find the oil filter on the side of the engine. Use the appropriate tool to remove the old 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.

4. Add New Oil

Remove the oil fill cap located on the top of the engine. Using a funnel, pour the recommended amount of new engine oil into the engine. Check the oil level with the dipstick to ensure it is at the correct level. Replace the oil fill cap securely.

5. Check for Leaks

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