Step-by-Step Guide
1. Prepare Your ATV
Ensure your DS90 is on a level surface and the engine is cool. This will prevent burns and ensure accurate oil drainage.
2. Locate the Drain Plug
The drain plug is located at the bottom of the engine. Place the drain pan underneath to catch the old oil.
3. Drain the Old Oil
Use a socket wrench to remove the drain plug. Allow the oil to completely drain into the pan. Once drained, replace the drain plug and tighten it securely.
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 gasket on the top of the filter. This ensures a proper seal. Install the new filter by hand, tightening it securely.
5. Add New Oil
Remove the oil fill cap and insert a funnel. Pour the recommended amount of new oil into the engine. Replace the oil fill cap once done.
6. 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.
