To change the engine oil (with or without oil fil-
ter cartridge replacement)
1. Park the ATV on a level surface.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for several minu- tes, and then turn it off.
3. Remove the access cover by turning it coun- terclockwise.
4. Place an oil pan under the engine to collect the used oil.
5. Remove the dipstick, and then remove the engine oil drain bolt and its gasket to drain the
oil from the crankcase.
TIPSkip steps 6–10 if the oil filter cartridge is not be-
ing replaced. 6. Remove panel F. (See page 9-10.)
7. Remove the oil filter cartridge with an oil filterwrench.TIPAn oil filter wrench is available at a nearby Yamaha

12. Refill with the specified amount of the recom-
mended engine oil, and then insert the dip-
stick completely into the oil filler hole.
TIPBe sure to wipe off spilled oil on any parts after the
engine and exhaust system have cooled down. NOTICEECB00301In order to prevent clutch slippage (since the
engine oil also lubricates the clutch), do not
mix any chemical additives. Do not use oils
with a diesel specification of “CD” or oils of
a higher quality than specified. In addition,
do not use oils labeled “ENERGY CONSERV-
ING II” or higher.
Make sure that no foreign material enters the
crankcase.
13. Start the engine, and then let it idle for several
minutes while checking it for oil leakage. If oil
is leaking, immediately turn the engine off and
check for the cause.
14. Turn the engine off, wait at least ten minutes, and then check the oil level and correct it if
necessary.
15. Install the access cover by turning it clock- wise.EBU38620Why YamalubeYAMALUBE oil is a Genuine YAMAHA Part born ofthe engineers’ passion and belief that engine oil is
an important liquid engine component. We form
teams of specialists in the fields of mechanical en-
gineering, chemistry, electronics and track test-
ing, and have them develop the engine together
with the oil it will use. Yamalube oils take full ad-
vantage of the base oil’s qualities and blend in the
ideal balance of additives to make sure the final oil
clears our performance standards. Thus,
Yamalube mineral, semisynthetic and synthetic oils have their own distinct characters and value.
Recommended oil:
See page 11-1.
Oil quantity: Without oil filter cartridge replacement:2.00 L (2.11 US qt, 1.76 Imp.qt)
With oil filter cartridge replacement: 2.10 L (2.22 US qt, 1.85 Imp.qt)

9Yamaha’s experience gained over many years of
research and development into oil since the
1960’s helps make Yamalube the best choice for
your Yamaha engine.
EBU27309Final gear oilThe final gear case must be checked for oil leak-
age before each ride. If any leakage is found, have
a Yamaha dealer check and repair the ATV. In ad-
dition, the final gear oil level must be checked and
the oil changed as follows at the intervals speci-
fied in the periodic maintenance chart.
To check the final gear oil level 1. Park the ATV on a level surface. 2. Remove the final gear oil level check bolt and
its gasket, and then check the oil level in the
final gear case. The oil level should be at the
brim of the check hole.
3. If the oil is below the brim of the check hole, remove the final gear oil filler bolt and its gas-
ket, and then add sufficient oil of the recom-
mended type to raise it to the correct level.

TIPIf genuine Yamaha coolant is not available, use an
ethylene glycol antifreeze containing corrosion in-
hibitors for aluminum engines and mix with dis-
tilled water at a 1:1 ratio. NOTICEECB02190Mix antifreeze with distilled water only. Howev-
er, if distilled water is not available, soft water
may be used for refilling. Do not use hard water
or salt water since they are harmful to the en-
gine. EBU34201To check the coolant level1. Park the ATV on a level surface.
TIPThe coolant level must be checked on a cold en-
gine since the level varies with engine tempera-
ture. 2. Check the coolant level in the coolant reser- voir.TIPThe coolant should be between the minimum and
maximum level marks.
Recommended coolant:YAMALUBE coolant
Coolant quantity: Coolant reservoir (up to full level):0.24 L (0.25 US qt, 0.21 Imp.qt)
Radiator (including all routes): 1.99 L (2.10 US qt, 1.75 Imp.qt)

93. If the coolant is at or below the minimum level
mark, remove panels A and C to access the
coolant reservoir. (See page 9-10.)
4. Remove the coolant reservoir cap, add cool- ant or distilled water to the maximum level
mark, install the reservoir cap, and then install
the panels. NOTICE: If coolant is not avail-
able, use distilled water or soft tap water
instead. Do not use hard water or salt wa-
ter since they are harmful to the engine. If
water has been used instead of coolant,
replace it with coolant as soon as possible,
otherwise the cooling system will not be
protected against frost and corrosion. If
water has been added to the coolant, have
a Yamaha dealer check the antifreeze con-
tent of the coolant as soon as possible,
otherwise the effectiveness of the coolant
will be reduced.
[ECB01012]
TIP The radiator fan is automatically switched on or
off according to the coolant temperature in the
radiator.
