Step-by-Step Guide

1. Prepare Your ATV

Ensure your Honda Rincon 680 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 underneath the engine. Place the drain pan beneath it. Use a socket wrench to remove the 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 located on the top of the engine. Using a funnel, pour in the new 10W-40 ATV oil. The 2015 Honda Rincon 680 requires approximately 3.6 quarts. Check the oil level with the dipstick to ensure it is at the correct level, adding more if necessary.

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 signs of leaks. If there are no leaks, turn off the engine and recheck the oil level, topping off if needed.
