Steps to Change the Oil
- Warm Up the Engine: Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes. This helps the oil to flow out smoothly when you drain it.
- Position the ATV: Ensure the ATV is on a level surface and turn off the engine. Secure it to prevent any movement.
- Locate the Drain Plug: Find the oil drain plug underneath the engine. Place the drain pan beneath it to catch the old oil.
- Remove the Drain Plug: Use a socket wrench to remove the drain plug. Allow the old oil to completely drain into the pan.
- 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 seal of the new filter. Install the new filter by hand, ensuring it is snug but not overtightened.
- Reinstall the Drain Plug: Once the oil has completely drained, reinstall the drain plug and tighten it securely.
- Add New Oil: Using a funnel, pour the new engine oil into the oil fill cap. Refer to your owner's manual for the correct oil capacity.
- Check Oil Level: Start the engine and let it run for a minute. Turn it off and check the oil level using the dipstick. Add more oil if necessary.
- Dispose of Old Oil: Properly dispose of the old oil and filter at a recycling center or an appropriate disposal facility.
