Step-by-Step Guide

1. Prepare Your ATV

Ensure your DS90X is on a level surface and the engine is cool. This prevents burns and ensures 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 filter. Install the new filter by hand, ensuring it is snug but not overtightened.

5. Add New Oil

Remove the oil fill cap and use a funnel to add the new engine oil. Refer to your owner's manual for the correct oil type and capacity. After filling, replace the oil fill cap.

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, adding more oil if necessary to reach the recommended level.
