Changing the oil on our kids ATV for the first time
This is our first gas powered toy. It is supposed to be a 110cc clone honda engine on a Roketa mini ATV. I know they aren't recommended, but it was inexpensive and I wanted to get the kids one before i get my 350 Yamaha in a few months.
Forgive my ignornace, but this is my first machine. I never had one as a a kid to have any experience in them, but want my children to have some fun. Anyway, I took the wrong drain plug out and a spring and metal tube with holes in it fell out along with very little oil. What is that plug for and did I screw anything up taking it out ? It only seemed to fit back in one way and it runs fine.

Welcome to the forum SteveMO! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
That was the "filter", and what you did was no big deal. The drain plug is on the bottom of the engine and most likely uses a 17mm wrench to remove. I would use any name brand 10w-40 motor oil in it.

With a wet clutch (automatic or not) I really wouldn't use a regular motor oil. The friction modifiers in regular motor oil will play heck with the wet clutch. PLEASE, use a motorcycle specific 10-40 or 20-40 oil made for this purpose. It should have "JASO spec" on it with NO FRICTION MODIFIERS.
