Oil and Filter Change

Always change the oil and filter at the intervals outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on Periodic Maintenance Chart. Always change the oil filter whenever changing oil.

NOTICE
If the ATV is left without oil in the system for extended periods, the oil pump may lose its prime, which could result in engine damage. Always replace the oil and filter within a few hours of draining the oil. Do not allow the vehicle to be without oil overnight.

  1. Obtain the correct oil filter and an adequate supply of oil so the oil and filter change can be completed without interruption.

  2. Position the vehicle on a level surface.

  3. Clean the area around the drain plug on the bottom of the engine crankcase.

  4. Run the engine for two to three minutes until warm. Stop the engine.

  5. Place a drain pan beneath the engine crankcase and remove the drain plug. Allow the oil to drain completely.

    CAUTION
    Hot oil can cause burns to skin. Do not allow hot oil to contact skin.

  6. Install a new sealing washer on the drain plug. The sealing surfaces on the drain plug and crankcase should be clean and free of burrs, nicks or scratches.

  7. Reinstall the drain plug. Torque to specification.

  8. Place towels under the oil filter. Using an oil filter wrench, turn the filter counter- clockwise to remove it.

  9. Using a clean, dry cloth, clean the filter sealing surface on the crankcase.

  10. Lubricate the gasket on the new filter with a film of engine oil. Check to make sure the gasket is in good condition.

  11. Install the new filter and turn by hand until the filter gasket contacts the sealing surface, then turn and additional 3/4 turn.

  12. Remove the oil fill plug and add the recommended oil. Do not overfill.

  13. Reinstall the fill plug.

  14. Start the engine and let it idle for 1–2 minutes.

  15. Stop the engine and inspect for leaks.

  16. Check the oil level and add oil as necessary to maintain the level at the center of the sight glass.

  17. Discard used oil and filter properly.
