Step-by-Step Guide

1. Prepare Your ATV

Ensure your ATV is on a level surface and the engine is cool. This prevents burns and ensures all the old oil drains out completely.

2. Drain the Old Oil

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

3. Replace the Oil Filter

Locate the oil filter. Use an oil filter wrench to remove the old filter. Before installing the new filter, apply a small amount of new oil to the rubber seal of the new filter. Install the new filter by hand, ensuring it is snug but not overtightened.

4. Add New Oil

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

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, your oil change is complete.
