5. Insert the dipstick completely into the oilfiller hole, and then remove it again to
check the oil level.TIPThe engine oil should be between the mini-
mum and maximum level marks.
6. If the engine oil is at or below the mini-mum level mark, remove the right rear
panel by removing the quick fastener
screws and bolts, and then add sufficient
oil of the recommended type to raise it to
the correct level.

7. Insert the dipstick completely into the oilfiller hole, and then install the right rear
panel by installing the bolts and the quick
fastener screws.
8. Lower the cargo bed.
To change the engine oil (with or without
oil filter cartridge replacement) 1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for several
minutes, and then turn it off. 3. Lift the cargo bed up. (See page 4-22 for
cargo bed lifting and lowering proce-
dures.)
4. Remove the right rear panel by removing the quick fastener screws and bolts.
5. Place an oil pan under the engine to col- lect the used oil, and then remove the
dipstick.
6. Remove the engine oil drain bolt and its gasket to drain the oil from the crank-
case.1. Right rear panel

TIPSkip steps 7–9 if the oil filter cartridge is not
being replaced. 7. Remove the oil filter cartridge with an oilfilter wrench. Make sure that the O-ring is
removed together with the oil filter car-
tridge. If the O-ring remains attached to
the crankcase, oil leakage may occur.
TIPAn oil filter wrench is available from a Yamaha
dealer. 8. Apply a light coat of clean engine oil tothe O-ring of the new oil filter cartridge.TIPMake sure that the O-ring is properly seated.

TIPBe sure to wipe off spilled oil on any parts af-
ter 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 la-
beled “ENERGY CONSERVING II” or
higher.
Make sure that no foreign material en-
ters the crankcase.
12. 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.
13. Turn the engine off, wait at least 10 minu-
tes, and then check the oil level and cor-
rect it if necessary.
14. Install the right rear panel by installing the
bolts and the quick fastener screws.
15. Lower the cargo bed.EBU36050Final gear oilCheck the oil level and change the final gear
oil at the intervals specified in the general
maintenance and lubrication chart.
Checking the final gear oil level 1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
Recommended engine oil: See page 10-1.
Oil quantity: Without oil filter cartridge replacement:2.20 L (2.33 US qt, 1.94 Imp.qt)
With oil filter cartridge replacement: 2.30 L (2.43 US qt, 2.02 Imp.qt)

2. Remove the final gear oil filler bolt and itsgasket, and then check the oil level in the
final gear case. The oil level should be at
the brim of the filler hole.
3. If the oil is below the brim of the filler hole, add sufficient oil of the recommended
type to raise it to the correct level.
NOTICE: Be sure no foreign material
enters the final gear case.

4. Check the gasket for damage, and re- place it if necessary.
5. Install the oil filler bolt and its gasket, and then tighten the bolt to the specified
torque.
Changing the final gear oil 1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Place an oil pan under the final gear case to collect the used oil.
3. Remove the final gear oil filler bolt, the fi- nal gear oil drain bolt and their gasket to
drain the oil.

If desired, an SAE 80W-90 hypoid gear oil
may be used instead. 6. Check the oil filler bolt gasket for dam-
age, and replace it if necessary.
7. Install the oil filler bolt and its gasket, and
then tighten the bolt to the specified
torque.

specified level. NOTICE: Be sure no for-
eign material enters the differential
gear case.

each ride.
Checking the coolant level
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Check the coolant level in the coolant reservoir when the engine is cold as the
coolant level varies with engine tempera-
ture.
TIPThe coolant should be between the minimum
and maximum level marks. 3. If the coolant is at or below the minimumlevel mark, remove the coolant reservoir
cap, add coolant to the maximum level
mark, install the reservoir cap.
