Default Oil change on recon ?

My lil recon is due for an oil change, how much and what weight? I dont have a manual for this machine. Also anything else need attention at the same time? I dont believe it has a serviceable oil filter does it? And any trick on filling the oil or just dump in the amount and call it good? It's a stupid question but on my Raptor it's easy to over or underfill it based on dipstick readings.

No, there isn't an oil filter to change. I think I used 10w-40. I think that it took 1.7 qts. I might be wrong about the qts. because it's been almost a year. No tricks that I can remember. Just fill until full. Maybe someone can confirm the qts just in case I'm wrong.

Coyotechaser is right

The manual calls for 1.7 us qt.

I use Wal-mart branded( Quaker state) 10w40 non energy conserving motor oil.

You could check the air filter and I did change my rear end oil (80w90) at about 230 hours.

Spark plug check or replace.


OOPs and no oil filter and just stick the dip stick into the hole when checking or don't screw in to get correct level to full mark.
