  • Funnel
  • New oil filter
  • Engine oil (SAE 10W-40 recommended)

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 accurate oil drainage.

2. Drain the Old Oil

Locate the oil drain plug under 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 and tighten the drain plug 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 engine oil (approximately 1 quart) into the engine. Replace the oil fill cap and ensure it is tight.

5. 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. Use the dipstick to check the oil level, ensuring it is within the recommended range. Add more oil if necessary.
