I know someone else posted this once before, but I'll do it again. I just changed my oil, and stupid me I got in a hurry. I drained the oil and checked the oil tank filter screen. My drain plug had very minimal shavings on it and the filter screen was almost 99% clean! Now for the stupid part. I forgot to change my oil filter. I plan on running the bike for sandfest only, and again change the oil. Do you all think it will be ok? I had just recently performed an oil change not too long ago, so this might have just been overkill but wanted to do it before hitting the sand.

 

I think you can change the filter without draining the oil...just let it sit a little...open the cap and take out the filter...

I'm pretty sure, but wait till someone else confirms it [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

why don't you tilt the quad to the left side (sitting on it)and change the filter this should keep you from leaking oil all over. i would make sure you change the filter before going racing.

 

Yea, what he said [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

LOL, Sandman I had actually thought about tilting it to the left side, but didn't know if that would work.

I will do that.

 

I always tip mine up on it's side, I can't stand the mess it makes if I don't. Don't forget to turn off the gas.
