My brother wants to change his oil filter on his 350X and wants to know if there is any surprises, or do's and dont's for such a project.

No surprises on this one. It is the same procedure as changing the oil on any of the other Honda ATVs.[except for the Rubicon & Rincon]

ONE WORD OF ADVISE!!: Be sure to install the oil filter the right direction!! The filter cover will still bolt back on if it's in wrong, but it will not allow oil to flow through the oil gallery that supplies oil to the topend of the engine. It will fry it within minutes.

The oil filter is marked which way is which, but I have seen a few "no name" filters that did not, so pay attention when removing the old one.

Hope this helps.

I think if you over tighten the bolts to hold on the cover it may become bent or warped and end up leeking oil, might wanna check the torque specks on those bolts.
