Step-by-Step Guide
1. Warm Up the Engine
Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes. This helps the oil to warm up, making it easier to drain. Ensure the ATV is on a level surface and turn off the engine before proceeding.
2. Locate the Drain Plug
Find the oil drain plug underneath the engine. Place the drain pan beneath the plug 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 insert a funnel. Pour the new engine oil into the engine, referring to your owner's manual for the correct amount. Replace the oil fill cap once done.
6. Check Oil Level
Start the engine and let it run for a minute. 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.
