Step-by-Step Guide

1. Prepare Your ATV

Ensure your ATV is on a level surface and the engine is cool. This will prevent burns and ensure accurate oil drainage.

2. Remove the Skid Plate

Use a socket wrench to remove the bolts securing the skid plate. Set the plate and bolts aside.

Remove the oil fill cap and insert a funnel. Pour in the new 5W-40 synthetic oil. Check the oil level with the dipstick and add more if necessary, ensuring not to overfill.

6. Reattach the Skid Plate

Reattach the skid plate using the bolts removed earlier. Ensure all bolts are tightened securely.
