ENGINE OIL
Long engine life depends much
on the selection of a quality oil
and the periodic changing of the
oil. Daily oil level checks and peri-
odic changes are two of the most
important maintenance items to
be performed.
ENGINE OIL LEVEL CHECK
Follow the procedure below to
inspect the engine oil level.
1. Start the engine and run it for
a few minutes.
2. Stop the engine and wait three
minutes.
3. Check the engine oil level with
the engine oil dipstick. The
dipstick comes out together
with the oil filler cap as shown.
The level found in the dipstick
should be between “L” (Low)
and “F” (Full) lines.
The oil level inspection should be
performed under the following
conditions:
•
Park the vehicle on level
ground.
• The oil filler cap threads are
not run in but touching the filler
hole upper edge.

CAUTION
Operating the vehicle with an
incorrect amount of oil can
damage your ATV.
Too little or too much oil can
damage your engine.
Place the ATV on level ground.
Check the oil level with the
engine oil dipstick before each
use of the vehicle. Be sure the
engine oil level is always above
the “L” (low) line and not
higher than the “F” (full) line.
