Saf ety Precautions
Using the wrong oil f ilter may result in leaks or engine damage.
Drain the Engine Oil:
Refer to on page .
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.
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
). If you do not have the skills or the tools, see your dealer.
Change the oil with the engine warm to assure complete and rapid
draining.
With the ATV on the level ground, remove the seat (page ), left
side cover (page ) and the oil fill cap/dipstick from the front
crankcase.
