Step-by-Step Guide

1. Prepare Your ATV

Ensure your Polaris Hawkeye 300 2X4 is on a level surface. Turn off the engine and let it cool down to avoid burns from hot oil.

Remove the oil fill cap and insert a funnel. Pour the recommended amount of new oil into the engine. Check the oil level with the dipstick to ensure it's at the correct level. Replace the oil fill cap.

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 leaks. If there are no leaks, turn off the engine and recheck the oil level, adding more if necessary.
