Doing a simple oil change on a 2001 Raptor 660 but it's exactly the same for all 2001-2005 Raptors. I list the amount of oil needed for the 2 steps in the video for your convenience and the steps straight out of the manual. Ask any questions below! Yes I realized I spelled underneath wrong
OIL USED IN VIDEO:
Yamalube 10w-40. If you live in much hotter climates where the temperature reaches over 105F while riding, I would recommend running 20w-50, otherwise, 10w-40 will do just fine. If not using Yamalube, ensure that the oil is conventional (if it doesn't say synthetic on the front, it's 99% of the time conventional) AND what you are using is MADE for engines that have a wet clutch (should state it somewhere on the bottle), the oil in this engine lubricates the clutches and any other oil supplements can ruin them.

It's a good idea to check oil pressure this after doing oil change. ●Slightly loosen the oil gallery bolt 1. ●Start the engine and keep it idling until engine oil starts to seep from the oil gallery bolt. If no engine oil comes out after one minute, turn the engine off so that it will not seize. ●Check the engine oil passages, the oil filter cartridge and the oil pump for damage or leakage

Bro what oils did you drain?? I saw you drained 2 oils from different locations. I just bought an 02 Raptor 660 and want to service it myself. Also can you specify everything you used like what oil viscosity, brand, air filter, oil filter, costs etc. Thanks in advance

@Hunters_Mechanics 4 жыл бұрын

There's an oil reservoir tank that I drained first, that's where you will be filling up the 4 wheeler when the oil has been drained out, then the engine itself secondly. I use Yamalube 10w-40 (that you have to buy at a dealer or on amazon), I use a k&n oil filter because they have a much harder filter shell, I had a cheap one get hit with a rock and get a hole in while riding so I've used this one since and had no issue (kn 303 I believe), and the air filter is some cheap one I got off eBay because I had no money at the time and I also ride decently clean to not to worry about it at the moment lol

Bro wash your fucking quad... Never spray carb cleaner in a filter housing... Never do an oil change on a dirty engine at the risk of getting it inside the engine... Never rev a bike after the oil change due to the oil not fully lubricating the entire engine straight away (no oil pressure).... Pull the plug lead off and crank the engine a couple times to allow the oil pressure build up and then start it up ... job done

@Hunters_Mechanics 5 жыл бұрын

When you drain the oil in anything, theres always still a little bit of oil left in the oil pan and there is still oil on all the parts so its not necessary when doing an oil change, and if you change the filter like I did, the total amount of oil you use is 2.3L
