  • 4 quarts of 10W-30 or 10W-40 engine oil
  • Oil drain pan
  • Socket wrench set
  • Funnel

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Prepare Your ATV

Ensure your ATV is on a level surface and the engine is cool. This will prevent burns and ensure all the old oil drains out completely.

2. Drain the Old Oil

Locate the oil drain plug under the engine. Place the oil drain pan beneath it. Use a socket wrench to remove the drain plug and allow the old oil to completely drain into the pan. Once drained, replace the drain plug and tighten it securely.

3. Replace the Oil Filter

Locate the oil filter, which is typically on the side of the engine. Use an oil filter wrench to remove the old 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 is snug, then tighten it an additional quarter turn.

4. Add New Oil

Remove the oil fill cap on the top of the engine. Using a funnel, pour in the new oil. The 2019 Honda TRX500 Rubicon typically requires about 3.7 quarts. Check the oil level with the dipstick to ensure it is at the correct level, adding more if necessary.

5. Check for Leaks

Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes. Check around the oil filter and drain plug for any signs of leaks. If you notice any, turn off the engine and tighten the components as needed.

6. Dispose of Old Oil

Properly dispose of the old oil and filter at a recycling center or an auto shop that accepts used oil.
