Good to point out the second drain bolt. On my 2006 Honda Rubicon GPS the 'second drain bolt' is not for an oil cooler, it drains the, for lack of a simpler term, the hydraulic driven transmission reservoir. I believe Honda calls it 'Hondamatic' and there are a few youtubes on how it works. That's why mine takes 5 litres of oil for a complete oil change. Maybe yours is different.

I used amsoil 0w40 synthetic for atvs in my 2001 trx 500 rubicon for 17 years without any transmission issues or complaints. Still runs like new.

Good instructional video. I purchase a new 2009 Rubicon in 2008 and have always had the Honda dealer service but today I decided to do my own oil change and found this vid. Here is what my '09 Rubi Owner's Manual has for Recommended Oil: Suggested oils are equal in performance to SJ oils that are not labeled as energy conserving on the circular API service label. Your ATV does not need oil additives. Use the recommended oil. Do not use oils with graphite or molybdenum additives. They may adversely affect clutch operation. Do not use non-detergent, vegetable, or castor based racing oils. Do not use API SH or higher oils displaying a circular API ‘‘energy conserving’’ service label on the container. They may affect lubrication and clutch performance. The JASO T 903 standard is an index for engine oils for 4-stroke motorcycle engines. There are two classes: MA and MB…MA is recommended.

Nice video. You walked us through the entire process.

Extremely helpful to a new owner - thank you!

Thanks buddy. Very helpful. You're thorough

I've always used Mobile 1 synthetic in my Honda... Never had any issues!

Thank you for this video. Job well done sir 👍

For the last 2 oil changes I have used 10-40 Amsoil Metric. No problem in fact it runs even better with Amsoil.

Regarding the concern relating to synthetic oil, I have always used Mobil 1 Full Synthetic Racing 4T 10W-40 specifically formulated for motorcycles with no issues. Same year/model ATV as in the video.

you should make a video of where your oil level should be on the dipstick, considering the one shown in the manual is not the one actually in the atv.

Thanks for all the big tips!

Thanks a lot. Very helpful

On my dipstick at the very bottom is a little flat spot thats to check before even starting if no oil dont start.....then almost at the very top is maby an inch long flat spot.....ususlly when i pull out the dipstick before every ride(it says to do b4 every ride) the oil is below the top flat space.....lets it run 5 mins ...whipe stick wait few mins then do the oil check anywhere in that space is good to go i keep mine at the top of the flat spot

10w40 full synthetic works great no problems with mine

Thank you!!! Hey I notice your air hose reel where did you get that? How many feet does it hold?

I just did my oil change for 500 rubicon 2011. It specifies 4.6L capacity yet I put in 5L and still not up to full level indicator. Both drains and filter are tight.

Full synthetic car oil has molybdenum in it. "Moly" ruins wet clutches that are in fourwheelers and dirtbikes and motorcycles. It is important to run motorcycle oil in these types of motors because of the wet clutch. You can use full synthetic motorcycle oil, because it does not have "moly". Full synthetic motorcycle oil works great in these machines.

But what years/models does this apply to? I dont think my 2020 Foreman has an oil cooler.

How do I check the oil? The manual I has a dipstick that looks different than the one I have. Can you show me on your dipstick where exactly it needs to be checked? I didnt exactly understand your final comment.

Does the bolt on the filter cover need more turns with the wrench than the plugs? I found a few drips after I did it. Turned a bit more but I’m scared to over tighten

Do we need to turn it to the left to loosen and right to tighten

Mine is a 2013 trx500fpa. It never had a washer.

Anyone know if you have to let it sit for a while on my last four wheeler you had to let it sit for 8 hours

Seems to be a LOT of confusion as to which marks to use on the dipstick to bad you did not finish by showing the correct level

You need some wooden ramps you can drive up on and give yourself more room to work.

Are those bolts threading on opposite to normal bolts?

Info on your hand guards please!!!!

Buy the NAPA gold filter and you get both orings with the filter.

What is the oil filter number?

I thought I noticed east coast accent, then you said dooryard lol

You have a hondamatic google hondamatic thats why you need so much oil .....oil pressure ....swash plates and pistons turn the driveshaft

Where did you get the oil jug adapter. I have same bike but is 2008

"Remove your filler cap, so it allows air from the top of the motor, to go through the engine." Wut?

hi!!!!! please, i need the manual of service, this process of you video is for my atv? my honda is 2007

8.5 quarts trx500 FA completely drained FYI

Wrong oil for this atv...should be JASO and Castrol is not JASA approved😮

The pace is brutal, get to the point man!

Way too long. Just wanted info on the change

Talk less...you ramble on about nothing....tools, tires....who cares?!
