To change the oil in a Polaris Ranger, first ensure the vehicle is on a level surface and warm up the engine slightly to thin the oil for easier drainage. Turn off the engine, then remove the oil drain plug located underneath the engine and let the old oil drain completely into a pan. Replace the drain plug, remove the old oil filter, and install a new one, applying a bit of oil to the rubber gasket. Finally, refill the engine with the appropriate type and amount of new oil, and check the oil level before starting the engine.
