Engine Oil & Filter
Changing Engine Oil & Filter
Refer to Saf ety Precautions
Your ATV's oil filter has very specific performance requirements. Use a
new Honda Genuine oil filter specified for your model or a filter of
equal quality.
Using the wrong oil f ilter may result in leaks or premature engine
damage.
This procedure requires mechanical skill and professional tools such as a
torque wrench, as well as a means for disposing of the drained fluid
(page 178 ). If you do not have the skills or the tools, see your Honda
dealer.
Drain the Engine Oil:
1. Start the engine in a well-ventilated area and let it idle for 3 5
minutes. Stop the engine and wait 2 3 minutes.
2. With the ATV on level ground, remove the engine oil filler cap from
the left side of the crankcase cover.
3. Place an oil drain pan under the crankcase and remove the engine oil
drain plug ( ) and sealing washer ( ). 1
