Step-by-Step Guide
1. Prepare Your ATV
Ensure your Can-Am DS90 is on a level surface and the engine is cool. This will prevent burns and ensure all the old oil drains out completely.
2. Locate the Drain Plug
The drain plug is located underneath the engine. Use a socket wrench to loosen and remove it, allowing the old oil to flow into the drain pan. Be cautious of hot oil.
3. Remove the Old Oil Filter
Using the oil filter wrench, remove the old oil filter. Be prepared for some oil spillage. Dispose of the old filter properly.
4. Install the New Oil Filter
Before installing the new oil filter, apply a small amount of new oil to the rubber seal. This ensures a proper seal and makes future removal easier. Screw the new filter into place by hand until snug.
5. Replace the Drain Plug
Once all the old oil has drained, replace the drain plug and tighten it securely with the socket wrench.
6. Add New Oil
Using a funnel, pour the recommended amount of new oil into the engine. Check the oil level with the dipstick to ensure it's at the correct level.
7. Check for Leaks
Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes. Check around the oil filter and drain plug for any leaks. If there are no leaks, your oil change is complete.
