Step-by-Step Guide

1. Prepare Your ATV

Ensure your Grizzly 350 is on a level surface and the engine is cool. This prevents burns and ensures 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.

3. Drain the Old Oil

Place the drain pan under the oil drain plug. Use the socket wrench to remove the plug and allow the oil to completely drain. Once drained, replace the drain plug and tighten it securely.

4. Replace the Oil Filter

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 filter. Install the new filter by hand, ensuring it is snug but not overtightened.

5. Add New Oil

Remove the oil fill cap and use a funnel to add the new oil. Refer to your owner's manual for the correct oil capacity. After filling, replace the oil fill cap.

6. Check for Leaks

Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes. Check for any leaks around the oil filter and drain plug. If there are no leaks, turn off the engine and check the oil level with the dipstick. Add more oil if necessary.
