Step 1: Warm the oil by running the engine at idle for a minute. Next, remove the access panel lid from the left side panel and the dipstick to hasten the oil drain.
2. Place a drain pan underneath the engine, then take off the 17mm drain bolt and crush washer from the engine’s base. Look for signs of wear on the crush washer and replace it if necessary.
Step 3: After properly draining the old oil, reinstall the drain bolt and crush washer, and tighten the bolt to a tension of 18 foot-pounds.
Step 5: Remove the oil filter cover and the three 8mm bolts. Install the new oil filter after removing the old one.
6. Check the oil filter cover’s O-ring and replace it if necessary. Tighten the bolts to 7 foot-pounds before replacing the oil filter cover. Reinstall the seat and right-side fairing next.
Step 7: Add 3.2 quarts of Honda GN4 10W-30 oil—or any other 10W-30 oil intended for wet clutch systems—to the engine.
Step 8: Replace the dipstick, then let the engine idle for about 15 seconds to let the fresh oil circulate throughout the engine. After that, turn off the motor and give the oil a minute to stand.
Step 9: Take out the dipstick, clean it, and replace it in the crankcase without threading it. Check the oil level by removing the dipstick once more. Reinstall the dipstick and the access panel lid after topping off the oil if necessary.
All versions of Honda ATVs require the same or comparable steps to do an oil change. Watch the video below to learn how to replace the oil and filter on a Honda ATV, though, if you want a more in-depth look at an oil change on a Honda quad.
What distinguishes 10w30 oil from 10w40 oil?
The high temperature viscosity is what makes 10W-30 and 10W-40 different from one another. Obviously, at high temperatures, a 10W-40 is thicker than a 10W-30.
A Honda Four Wheeler uses how much oil?
Oil the engine once more. ADVICE: Despite Honda’s claims, we considered the Rancher 420’s 3 quarts of oil capacity to be a tad excessive. Replace the fill cap, add 2.5 quarts, let the engine run for a few minutes, and then check the level. Don’t screw in the fill cap before checking the oil level in the engine.
