Engine Oil and Filter

The engine oil level should be checked before each ride. In addition, the oil must
be changed and the oil filter replaced at the intervals specified in the periodic
maintenance and lubrication chart.
To check the engine oil level:
1. Place the ATV on a level surface.
2. Check the engine oil level on a warm engine.
NOTE: If the engine was started before checking the oil level, be sure to warm
up the engine sufficiently and then wait at least ten minutes until the oil settles
for an accurate reading.
3. Remove the engine oil filler cap then wipe the engine oil dipstick off with a
clean cloth.
4. Insert the dipstick into the filler hole (by screwing it in) and then remove it again
to check the oil level.
NOTE: The engine oil should be between the tip of the dipstick and the
maximum level mark.
5. If the engine oil is not between the tip of the dipstick and the maximum level
mark, add sufficient oil of the recommended type to raise it to the correct level.
NOTE: Be sure the engine oil is at the correct level, otherwise engine damage
may result.
6. Insert the dipstick into the oil filler hole and then tighten the engine oil filler cap.
To change the engine oil (with or without oil filter replacement):
1. Place the ATV on a level surface.
2. Start the engine and let warm up for several minutes and then turn off.
