When you change your oil depends on how often you use your ATV and the quality of the oil that you have inside it.
Owners who ride every day and use $1.00 per quart "big box" oil will be changing oil once a week. Others who ride less frequently and use high-grade petroleum or synthetic oil may go an entire season before needing a change.
The best way to determine if you need a change is to pull the dipstick at the end of every trail riding session and check out the color of the oil.
An oil change is a great opportunity to take a few minutes and get rid of the dirt, weeds and other debris from beneath your ride. The oil is actually going to drain through a hole in the skid plate and if that hole is clogged you're going to have your very own BP spill to deal with.
In some ATV models, access to the drain and filter are pretty easy but in some models you will need every mm of clearance to reach a plug or a filter. If those spaces are clogged with debris your oil change can become a level 5 out of 10 pretty quickly.
The process we list here is specifically for a Yamaha Grizzly 660 but the steps are the same for just about any model. What will be different is the location of the drain plug and oil tank as well as the oil filter. Refer to your owner's manual for the specific location of those items.
Because it's horizontal and somewhat recessed you want to use a screwdriver to stuff rags under the filter to catch the oil. Wrench the old filer out.
That's it. Remember to recycle/dispose of the old oil responsibly.

If you have an ATV, you’re going to have to change the oil at some point so you can keep it running properly. But what if you’re not adept at ATV maintenance? Luckily, this task is pretty simple. It’s much like a car oil change, but even easier, so you should be able to do it yourself. Just consider these ATV oil change steps before you get started.
The first question you might have is how often you need to change the oil. The answer is that it depends on your ATV. In general, you’re supposed to perform an ATV oil change about every 100 hours of use, or at least once per year. But be sure to check your owner’s manual to find out what it says about your specific ATV.
While you’re reading the manual, take note of which type of oil and filter to use, and buy those. It’s important to use the correct ATV oil change supplies if you want to keep your vehicle running properly, so don’t simply make assumptions on what you should buy. Let your owner’s manual guide you on this decision.
Now that you have the supplies you need, start your ATV’s engine up and let it run for about ten minutes. This warms up the oil so it comes out of the drain easier. Then check your owner’s manual to find out which panels you need to remove so you can access the oil filter. You’ll likely find you have to remove the seat of the ATV first, and then you might have to pull a latch to unfasten the tabs nearby. For most ATVs, you’ll also have to snap off the panel on the right side of the vehicle, which will reveal a cover that has bolts you’ll also need to remove. After you remove the cover, you’ll see the oil filter and dipstick. Take out the dipstick and clean around it to reduce the chance that grit and dirt will end up in the engine.
Then check your owner’s manual to find out where the drain plug is.
Once you find the drain plug—which should be at the bottom of the ATV’s engine—check the skid plate to ensure the hole is clear before you start draining the old oil. Then put a drain pan under it. Your next step in the ATV oil change should be to loosen the drain plug with a socket, and then allow the old oil to drip into the pan underneath. After all the old oil is gone, you can remove the filter.
Now you can put the drain plug back into place, making sure not to tighten it too much during this step. Take the new oil filter and put some oil on the O-ring, and then screw it in by hand, using a wrench to fully tighten it—but not too tight. At that point, you’re ready to add two quarts of new oil, which you can do by placing a funnel on top of the new filter and pouring the oil through that. Once this is done, turn on the ATV’s engine and let it run for about ten seconds.
This will help the fresh oil begin flowing through the engine. Then check the oil level using the dipstick to determine if you have to add even more oil before the job is done. If the level is right, you’re ready to put the cover, panel, and seat back on.
The ATV oil change is just one part of keeping your vehicle maintained before you ride. For more tips on taking care of your ATV, check out our guide here: Getting Your ATV Ready for Springtime Fun.
The popularity of ATVs has led to a wide range of models - from simple models with minimal equipment to powerful multi-axle options for purely utilitarian purposes. A separate article is sports ATVs, which are distinguished not only by highly accelerated motors with the utmost lightening of the structure, but also by the use of mechanical gearboxes instead of the usual variator. Such a technique can be both a great way to get adrenaline and help a hunter or farmer.
Proper selection of ATV engine oil will allow you to get the maximum resource from it.
This is especially important during tough operation - transporting heavy loads, overcoming fords, etc. Even on a prepared ATV with snorkels installed, there is a high risk of water entering the crankcase, which means that the protective properties of the oil must be at a high level. In any case, if an emulsion is found on the dipstick or in the oil tank (on ATVs with a dry sump), the oil must be changed immediately. Will require inspection and gearbox.
For most models of four-wheel vehicles, ROLF Lubricants GmbH can offer oils of decent quality and attractive prices with reliable counterfeit protection.
Engine oil for ATVs must first of all match the type of engine. The vast majority of existing models are equipped with one- or two-cylinder water-cooled gasoline engines, that is, they require oils of the API S group. A small number of ATVs produced in the most basic configuration continue to use 2T engines - they are simpler, cheaper and lighter.
In this case, only special two-stroke oils of API TC quality class can be used.
Diesel engines are also installed on heavy utility ATVs, including the Side-by-side class. For them, it is worth choosing a specialized oil for diesel engines (API C class group), but filling with universal motor oils is also possible, since their characteristics are suitable for diesel engines used on utility ATVs.
The oil change interval is determined by the manufacturer and is given in the service book. It is recommended to change the oil at the beginning of the season if the ATV is not being driven in the winter, even if it has had little mileage the previous year.
Since most ATVs are equipped with a CVT transmission and do not have a clutch in an oil bath, they do not have an urgent need to use 4T motorcycle oils. The fundamental difference between motor oils for four-stroke engines and conventional automotive oils lies precisely in the presence of friction modifiers and the rationing of anti-friction properties, which is necessary to ensure the normal operation of the clutch.
Therefore, the use of ROLF automotive engine oils on such ATVs is more than justified. For example, the instruction manual for BRP Outlander ATVs explicitly states that the original engine oil can be replaced with any SAE 5W-40 automotive oil with a quality class of at least API SG. With such low requirements, any ROLF 5W-40 oil will work perfectly in this technique.
You can do the same when buying a diesel ATV. For example, for Polaris Ranger Diesel, the instructions require the use of original Polaris Diesel Oil (SAE 15W-40) engine oil or diesel oils of the appropriate viscosity.
There are only two cases where motor oil must not be poured into an ATV engine. First of all, we are talking about sports models equipped with a “wet” clutch and a manual gearbox in a common lubrication circuit with a motor. They need specialized, synthetic four-stroke oils designed specifically for these operating conditions.
Two-stroke ATVs also need their own type of lubricant.
Of the entire range of two-stroke oils, those that are designed for motor vehicles are optimal, taking into account their inherent operating temperatures and loads.
This oil is designed as a universal oil for motor vehicles with medium and large cylinder displacement. It is compatible with all types of lubrication systems, can work in a gasoline-oil mixture, in separate lubrication of carburetor engines and on two-stroke engines with electronic fuel injection.
ROLF MOTO 2T ATV Engine Oil
ROLF Moto 2T meets stringent current requirements for two-stroke oils for protection against wear, smoke and carbon formation. It maintains the performance of the spark plug for a long time, preventing contamination of the electrodes by unburned oil residues. Thanks to anti-wear additives, the engine remains protected from scuffing on the piston and cylinder walls at high temperatures.
| Density at 15°C, kg/m 3 | 876. 8 |
| Kinematic viscosity at 100 °С, mm 2 /s | 10.76 |
| Kinematic viscosity at 40 °C, mm 2 /s | 81.36 |
| Viscosity index | 118 |
| Flash point in open cup, °C | 158 |
| Pour point, °С | -42 |
| Quality classes | JASO FD/ISO-L-EGD, JASO FB/API TC |
| Approvals | Rotax 253, Piaggio Hexagon |
Four-stroke ATV engines with CVT transmissions are subject to the same standardization systems as for automobiles. That is, the main quality classification is the generally used API standard, and due to the less stringent environmental requirements for ATVs, obsolete classes like API SJ are still used today.
The viscosity of oils is also marked according to the SAE standard used for automotive oils.
Since ATVs are often used not only in summer, but also in the off-season, and sometimes in winter, the best choice for them is all-weather oils, which is also confirmed by the above excerpts from the requirements of the instructions.
For wet clutch ATVs, the engine oil must also meet JASO MA2 quality class. It takes into account the specific requirements of such motors for the anti-friction properties of oils. In the ROLF product line, ROLF GT 5W-40 SN/CF has this approval.
Two-stroke oils are standardized according to a separate group of API classes, of which API TC is currently relevant. But it is optimal to choose an oil produced taking into account additional JASO / ISO specifications with a group of at least C (that is, JASO FC, ISO-L-EGC). Compared to API TC oils, they protect the engine better, smoke less during combustion, and form less carbon deposits.
Since the gearbox on ATVs either requires no lubrication at all (dry CVT) or the manual transmission is lubricated directly with engine oil, only the gearboxes require their own lubrication.
The choice of replacement oil should be based on the properties of the original lubricant and the indications in the operating instructions. Thus, gearboxes with a mechanical differential lock (including an external solenoid) can most often operate on conventional ROLF gear oils of API GL-4 or GL-5 quality class. For example, for Arctic Cat ATVs on most models, the instruction recommends using oils with a viscosity of SAE 75W-90 and API GL-5 quality class. These requirements are met by ROLF TRANSMISSION PLUS 75W-90 GL-4/GL-5. A number of BRP ATVs require the use of a thicker 75W140 grade GL-5 oil, and there is no analogue for it in the current ROLF line.
Gearboxes with viscous or electromagnetic clutches deserve special attention. The use of conventional gear oils in them can disrupt the normal operation of the gearbox and even lead to its repair due to clutch failure. In particular, this applies to Polaris front gearboxes lubricated with Polaris Demand Drive special oil.
