Step-by-Step Guide

1. Prepare Your ATV

Ensure your Polaris Outlaw 90 is on a level surface and the engine is warm. This helps the oil drain out smoothly. Turn off the engine and let it cool for a few minutes.

2. Drain the Old Oil

Place the oil drain pan under the engine. Locate the oil drain plug beneath the engine and use a socket wrench to remove it. Allow the old oil to completely drain into the pan. Once drained, replace the drain plug and tighten it securely.

3. 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 top of the filter. This ensures a proper seal. Install the new filter by hand, tightening it securely.

4. Add New Oil

Remove the oil fill cap and insert a funnel. Pour the recommended amount of new 4-stroke engine oil into the engine. Check the oil level with the dipstick to ensure it's at the correct level. Replace the oil fill cap.

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.
