Tools and Materials Needed

  • Oil filter wrench
  • Socket set
  • Drain pan
  • Funnel
  • New oil filter
  • Recommended oil (check your owner's manual for specifications)

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 all the old oil drains out completely.

2. Drain the Old Oil

Locate the oil drain plug underneath the engine. Place the drain pan beneath it. Use a socket wrench to remove the drain plug and allow the old oil to completely drain into the pan. Once drained, replace the drain plug securely.

3. 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 new filter. This ensures a proper seal. Install the new filter by hand, ensuring it is snug but not overtightened.

4. Add New Oil

Locate the oil fill cap on the top of the engine. Remove it and use a funnel to pour the recommended amount of new oil into the engine. Be sure to check the oil level with the dipstick to ensure it is at the correct level.

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