Tools and Materials Needed

  • Oil filter wrench
  • Socket wrench set
  • Drain pan
  • New oil filter
  • 4 quarts of 10W-40 ATV oil
  • Funnel
  • Clean rags

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Prepare Your ATV

Ensure your Honda Rincon 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 plug and allow the old oil to completely drain into the pan. Once drained, replace and tighten the drain plug.

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. Screw the new filter into place by hand until it's snug, then tighten it an additional 3/4 turn.

4. Add New Oil

Remove the oil fill cap and insert a funnel. Pour in approximately 3.5 quarts of 10W-40 ATV oil. Replace the oil fill cap and start the engine. Let it run for a few minutes, then turn it off and check the oil level with the dipstick. Add more oil if necessary to reach the full mark.

5. Check for Leaks

Inspect the area around the oil filter and drain plug for any signs of leaks. Tighten if necessary.
