  • New oil filter
  • 1 quart of 10W-40 ATV oil
  • Funnel

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Prepare Your ATV

Ensure your TRX90 is on a level surface and the engine is cool. This prevents burns and ensures accurate oil drainage.

2. Drain the Old Oil

Place the oil drain pan under the engine. Use the socket wrench to remove the drain plug located at the bottom of the engine. Allow the old oil to completely drain into the pan. Once drained, replace the drain plug and tighten it securely.

3. Replace the Oil Filter

Locate the oil filter on the side of the engine. Use the appropriate tool to remove the old oil filter. Before installing the new filter, apply a small amount of new oil to the rubber gasket on the top 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 on the top of the engine. Using a funnel, pour in the new 10W-40 ATV oil. The TRX90 requires approximately 1 quart of oil. After filling, replace the oil fill cap securely.

5. Check the Oil Level

Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes. Turn off the engine and wait a few minutes for the oil to settle. Check the oil level using the dipstick. Add more oil if necessary to reach the correct level.
