Tools & Materials Needed

  • Oil filter wrench
  • Socket set
  • Drain pan
  • Funnel
  • New oil filter
  • Engine oil (check your manual for the recommended type & amount)
  • Rags or paper towels

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Prepare Your ATV

Ensure your Can-Am DS90 is on a level surface and the engine is cool. This will prevent burns and ensure all the old oil drains out properly.

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 the socket set to remove the drain plug. Allow the oil to completely drain into the pan. This may take a few minutes.

4. Replace the Oil Filter

Using the oil filter wrench, remove the old oil filter. Before installing the new filter, apply a small amount of new oil to the rubber seal of the filter. This ensures a proper seal and makes it easier to remove during the next oil change.

5. Install the New Oil Filter

Screw the new oil filter into place by hand. Do not over-tighten, as this can damage the seal.

6. Reinstall the Drain Plug

Once all the old oil has drained, reinstall the drain plug securely. Ensure it is tight to prevent leaks.

7. Add New Oil

Using a funnel, pour the new engine oil into the oil fill cap. Refer to your owner's manual for the correct oil capacity. After adding the oil, replace the oil fill cap.

8. Check the Oil Level

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