Tools & Materials Needed

  • Oil filter wrench
  • Drain pan
  • Socket set
  • Funnel
  • New oil filter
  • Engine oil (check your owner's manual for specifications)

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Warm Up the Engine

Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes. This helps the oil to warm up, making it easier to drain.

2. Position the ATV

Ensure the ATV is on a level surface and turn off the engine. This will prevent any accidental movement and ensure complete drainage of the oil.

3. Drain the Old Oil

Place the drain pan under the engine. Use a socket wrench to remove the drain plug and allow the old oil to completely drain out. Be careful as the oil may be hot.

4. 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 seal of the new filter. This ensures a proper seal and makes it easier to remove during the next oil change.

5. Install the New Oil Filter

Screw the new oil filter into place by hand. Do not over-tighten as this can damage the seal.

6. Refill with New Oil

Replace the drain plug securely. Using a funnel, pour the new oil into the engine. Refer to your owner's manual for the correct oil capacity.

7. Check Oil Level

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

8. Dispose of Old Oil

Properly dispose of the old oil and filter at a recycling center or an auto shop that accepts used oil.
