how often to change oil on a four stroke quad?

 

I change my oil every 5 er so rides unless I'm breakin it in then I change it every couple and make sure I get the valves adjusted.

 

I guess it probably depends how much and how hard you ride it...I change mine after every 2 major trips, which will roughly equate to about 15-20 hours of riding...

 

how do u change the oil...like how do u drain it

 

Take the screw out of the drain plug. Let it drain until it just about stops dripping. You can jack it up on one side so that its tilted towards your drain pan.

They told me to change it every 10 tanks of gas. Dont know if this right. I dont have a speedo or hour meter to measure. I figured I go about 5 and see what it looks like. If it needs it, I ll change it.

thanks alot really appreciate it

 

Dont forget to change the oil filter also. When u put the new back on, take a little oil from a new bottle and wipe it around the rubber seal. Just dip your finger and wipe around it is all I do. Then pour a little oil in the filter so that when u start it up, the filter has some oil in it.
