I just got a 2002 Honda 400EX and I have to change the oil tomorrow but I am not real sure how to do it on this quad.

I dont have a factory owners manual, I bought one on ebay but it will be at least a week before I get it and I want to change the oil tomorrow

can you give me a heads up on where all the bolts are and what oil to use

There are no stupid questions. If you dont know then how can it be stupid. Just ask. Thats why this site is here. There will be some idiots on here that beat people down but dont let them bother you. Its only stupid if you dont ask, and then mess up something. Good luck, and welcome to the site!

Thanks Guys

I actually found that link at the top after I had already read the previous posts and they are really helpful.

I am just wanting to get everything ready before I go on any long rides to avoid major problems on the trail
