400 ex oil change

[schuckie0920]

does anyone know how much oil a 400ex holds when changing the oil and filter i just bought this quad and dont have a manual for it and the dealer couldnt give me any info if anyone knows please tell me thanks chuck

First off warm up the motor before changing the oil. Drain it from the tank and from the crankcase. There are 2 locations to drain the oil from don't think the small oil tank is the only one. It holds 1.95 quarts.

ok thank you very much it means alot to me i called cycle world and they told me 4 quarts i didnt think that sounded right again thank you

Another thing to do is tilt the quad so that all the oil will drain out of the crankcase drain hole.

Dont forget oil filter too.
