- Funnel
- New oil filter
- Engine oil (check your owner's manual for the recommended type and amount)

Steps to Change the Oil
- Warm Up the Engine: Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes. This helps the oil drain out smoothly by thinning it.
- Position the ATV: Place the DS90 on a level surface and turn off the engine. Ensure the ATV is stable and won't tip over during the process.
- Locate the Drain Plug: Find the oil drain plug underneath the engine. Place the drain pan beneath it to catch the old oil.
- Remove the Drain Plug: Use a socket wrench to carefully remove the drain plug. Allow the old oil to completely drain into the pan.
- 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 filter. Install the new filter by hand, ensuring it's snug but not overly tight.
- Reinstall the Drain Plug: Once the oil has fully drained, reinstall the drain plug securely.
- Add New Oil: Using a funnel, pour the recommended amount of new engine oil into the oil fill cap. Check the oil level with the dipstick and add more if necessary.
- 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. Tighten if necessary.
- Dispose of Old Oil: Properly dispose of the old oil and filter at a recycling center or an appropriate disposal facility.
