Step-by-Step Guide

1. Prepare Your ATV

Ensure your Grizzly 700 is on a level surface and the engine is cool. This prevents burns and ensures accurate oil drainage.

Remove the oil fill cap and insert a funnel. Pour in the new 10W-40 ATV oil, checking the dipstick to ensure the correct level. Replace the oil fill cap securely.

6. Reattach the Skid Plate

Align the skid plate and secure it with the bolts you previously removed.
