Default Oil Change Help

Well I bought everything to change my oil. It will be my first time changing it sense I got it. Iv got a Eiger 400, I have no clue where the dipstick, drain plug, or oil filter are(I change my own oil in my car, its easy, but this is my first ATV and id like to be prepared before changing it). Does anyone have any pics of these things? That and will I have to pull anything off to reach these things?

Default Oil Change Help

I just did my oil change on my Eiger. The dipstick/fill spot is on the left side as your sitting on it. Theres a little plastic piece you have to remove to get to it. The drain plug is underneath, basically right in the middle, theres a hole in the skid plate for it. I think the drain plug is a 22mm sized bolt. The filter can be reached by removing the front left tire (as your sitting on it) and the black piece of plastic that sits against the back of the fender well. All this is in your owners manual. It's real easy once you get off all the plastic thats in the way. The pop rivets you just push in the center and remove, then to put it back in you push the center piece out, push it in, the push the center thing back in. I think it takes like 3.3 quarts of oil with a filter change.
