Just wondering where the oil fill hole is. I see the dipstick and im sure i can find the drain plug but just wondering if i had you yank the airbox out in order to fill the thing with oil. Please give me a response, leaving with the girlfriend for up north tomorrow.

 

The trailblazer 400 has no oil to change. It is a 2 stroke and all it needs is injection oil. There is tranny oil and you should change that about once a year. You just fill the injection oil tank and leave it alone.

 

There is also the Counterbalancer oil don't forget that. It is under the airbox and is easier to get to the dipstick by taking it out. The drain is in the front of the motor.

 

Oh yah I forgot about that one. It does not take much just a few ounces.

 

I think I put like 7 ounces. Whatever isn't used is spit out the overflow.

 

What kind of oil do you use in the countersteering box?

Also how do you change the tranny oil?

I know that you dont need to change the motor oil because there is none.

 

I use 10w-30 Mobile 1.

 

any suggestions on the trans fluid change? I dont know how to do it.

 

Yeah theres a bolt sticking out of the tranny drain plug on the back left side that goes in to the tranny. You will have to bust the lock nut holding it on then screw in the bolt into the acutal "plug". Once you do that then the plug unscrews from the tranny..drain oil and put back on in reverse order. The bolt that goes in to the drain plug butts up against the frame to keep the plug from backing out I guess..Hope I explained that good enough.

 

I did exactly that and that is what the guy above was discribing as the "counterbalance oil" it only had a few ounces of fluid that i replaced with trans oil. Is that the trans fluid or the "counterbalance fluid" like the guy above discribed? It came out extremely black and didnt seem like it was changed in quite a while. What does counterbalance fluid even do?
