Changing the oil in your 2019 Husqvarna TC65 is a crucial maintenance task that keeps your dirt bike running smoothly and prolongs its lifespan. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you accomplish this task efficiently. ### Tools Needed To change the oil in your Husqvarna TC65, you will need the following tools and materials:- Socket wrench or ratchet with a 13 mm socket
- Drain pan
- Funnel
- Oil filter wrench (if applicable, though not necessary for the TC65)
- Motor oil (15W-50 is recommended)
- Oil additive (optional)
- Universal O-ring kit (for the oil drain plug)
- Shop rags
- Work stand or lift (optional)
2. Remove the Bike from Stand (if applicable)– If you're using a work stand, remove the bike from it to ensure it's stable and safe.
3. Locate the Oil Drain Plug– The oil drain plug is typically located at the bottom of the engine, near the left side of the bike. For the Husqvarna TC65, it's accessible from the left side of the engine.
#### Step 3: Drain the Oil 1. Position the Drain Pan– Place a drain pan under the oil drain plug to catch the oil.
2. Remove the Oil Drain Plug– Use a 13 mm socket wrench to remove the plug. Be prepared for the oil to start draining.
3. Replace the O-Ring– Before replacing the plug, inspect the oil drain plug O-ring and replace it if it shows signs of wear or damage. This ensures a leak-free seal.
#### Step 4: Refill the Oil 1. Insert the Plug– Tighten the oil drain plug securely once the oil has stopped dripping. Make sure not to overtighten.
2. Find the Oil Fill Cap– Locate the oil fill cap, usually marked with an oil can symbol.
3. Pour In the New Oil– Use a funnel and pour in the recommended amount of 15W-50 oil. The Husqvarna TC65 typically requires about 500 mL of oil, but always refer to your owner's manual for exact specifications.
4. Replace the Oil Fill Cap– Once the oil is poured, replace the cap and ensure it's securely tightened.
#### Step 5: Check the Oil Level 1. Start the Engine– Briefly start the engine to circulate the new oil.
2. Turn Off the Engine– Let it sit for a minute.
3. Check the Oil Level– Use the dipstick to check the oil level. Add more if necessary.
#### Step 6: Dispose of Used Oil 1. Proper Disposal– Take the used oil to a recycling center or an auto parts store that accepts used oil for recycling.
