  • Drain pan
  • Funnel
  • New oil filter
  • Engine oil (check your manual for the correct type & amount)
  • Rags or paper towels

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Prepare Your ATV

Ensure your Can-Am DS90 is on a level surface and the engine is cool. This will prevent burns and ensure all the old oil drains out properly.

2. Locate the Drain Plug

The drain plug is located at the bottom of the engine. Place the drain pan underneath to catch the old oil.

3. Drain the Old Oil

Use a socket wrench to remove the drain plug. Allow the oil to completely drain into the pan. Once drained, replace the drain plug and tighten it securely.

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

5. Add New Oil

Remove the oil fill cap and insert a funnel. Pour the new engine oil into the engine. Refer to your owner's manual for the correct oil capacity. Once filled, replace the oil fill cap.

6. Check Oil Level

Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes. Turn it off and wait a few minutes for the oil to settle. Check the oil level using the dipstick and add more oil if necessary.

Important Tips

  • Always dispose of old oil and filters properly by taking them to a recycling center.
  • Regular oil changes are essential for maintaining engine health & performance.
  • Check for any oil leaks after completing the oil change.

By following these steps, you can ensure your 2010 Can-Am DS90 runs smoothly and efficiently. Regular maintenance not only extends the life of your ATV but also enhances your riding experience.
