Step-by-Step Guide
1. Prepare Your ATV
Ensure your KFX90 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.

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 gasket on the top of the filter. This ensures a proper seal. Install the new filter by hand, tightening it securely.

Remove the oil fill cap and insert the funnel. Pour in the new 10W-40 ATV oil, checking the oil level with the dipstick to ensure it is at the correct level. Do not overfill. Once filled, replace the oil fill cap.
