You should start out by getting the engine warmed up to its normal operating temp. Next, you want to place your ATV on a level surface and remove the drain plug from the motor. You will find a round hole in the factory skid plate, this is where you find the drain plug. Using a 14mm socket, remove the plug and let the oil drain. The oil will be pretty warm when you pull the plug away from the case, so be prepared for that. Be patient and allow all of the oil to drain, not just most of it. While the oil is draining you should remove the black plastic cover on the left side of the engine. this is the cover that has the oil fill hatch on it. Remove the Phillips head screws, there should be about five or so, and pull the cover off. This will expose the spin on oil filter. Remove any dirt or debris from around the filter to keep it from falling into the crankcase when you're spinning the filter off. I like to place a rag under the filter to catch all of the oil and prevent it from running down the skid plate and making a mess. Always use the appropriate oil filter wrench and never puncture the filter with a screwdriver; you run the risk of breaking the threaded boss off of the crankcase. Any parts store sells oil filter wrenches and they would be glad to match your filter to the proper filter wrench. When all of the oil has drained, inspect the washer on the drain plug. If you see any cracks or fragmenting on the edges, replace it. It's always a good idea to have one on hand, especially if you plan on doing all of your oil changes yourself. Clean and re-install the plug. Be sure not to over tighten it. The plug just needs to be snugged a little once it seats against the case. Wipe the flat, smooth surface on the motor where the oil filter seats. Inspect the area to see if any metal chips or unusual material is visible. This could be an indication of a failed part inside the motor. A dab of oil on your finger can be used to lubricate the O ring on the filter. This prevents binding when the O ring meets the case as it spins on. Let the filter seat against the case and just give it an additional 1/4 of a turn. Replace the plastic cover and use some anti-seize on the screws to keep them from giving you any trouble the next time you change your oil. Now add your oil until it is between the upper and lower marks on the dip stick. Run the motor for a few seconds and let the oil settle, then re-check the oil. Add if necessary.
