How do you change oil on Honda rincon?

(note: Left and right are denoted by sitting on the quad)

Warm up the engine. Turn off the engine. Pull the left lower side cover ((the small one in the corner) That's the oil fill hole. remove the cap. the oil drain plug is about 1/2 way back under the quad. It's 17 MM if I recall correctly. there is a hole in the skid plate and the bolt is not pointig down, it's lateral. now, that bolt is about 3 inches long and there is an oring on it, so don't be suprised that it doesn't fall out in your hand like on your car. you have to pull it out. drain all the oil. replace the plug with a new washer. (if you don't have one, don't worry, I've reused mine 5 times). Tighten the plug.

On the right side of the engine you'll see a round cover with a bolt right in the center of it. Its toward the front of the engine. (if you can't find this, you have no business with a wrench in your hand) CLEAN the cover and surrounding area. remove the bolt, cover, filter and spring.

The filter goes in either way, there is no wrong way to put it in. put the spring in, then the filter. Run the bolt through the cover and through the filter and spring. Don't worry, it'll seat itself as you run the bolt in.

back to the left side of the quad.

The dip stick is the cap on the lower left (facing the side of the quad) remove it and wipe it off. put it back in the hole, do not screw it back in. the oil level is checked from the top of the threads, not screwed in. Start dumping oil into the hole you uncapped earlier on the lower right. it takes the better part of a gallon of oil. fill it most of the way, screw both caps on and start it up. check for leaks under and around the filter cap. shut it down, re check the oil and fill to the appropriate mark on the dip stick.

To reset the oil change light, hold down the odometer and clock buttons for a few seconds. (with the ignition turned on).

Happy motoring!
