Engine oil and oil filter cartridge
Check engine oil level before each operation. In
addition, change the oil and the oil filter cartridge at
the intervals specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.
To check the engine oil level
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Remove the console. (See pages 8-21–8-23
for console removal and installation proce-
dures.)
3. Check the engine oil level on a cold engine. If
the engine was started before checking the
oil level, be sure to warm up the engine suffi-
ciently, and then wait at least ten minutes un-
til the oil settles for an accurate reading.
4. Remove the dipstick, and then wipe it off with
a clean rag.

5. Insert the dipstick completely into the oil filler
hole, and then remove it again to check the
oil level. The engine oil should be between
the minimum and maximum level marks.
6. If the engine oil is at or below the minimum
level mark, add sufficient oil of the recom-
mended type to raise it to the correct level.
7. Insert the dipstick completely into the oil filler
hole.
8. Reinstall the console.

dures.)
3. Start the engine, warm it up for several min-
utes, and then turn it off.

Skip steps 6–10 if the oil filter cartridge is not being
replaced.
6. Lift the cargo bed up. (See pages 4-43–4-45
for cargo bed lifting and lowering proce-
dures.)
7. Remove the oil filter cartridge with an oil filter
wrench. An oil filter wrench is available from a
Yamaha dealer. Make sure that the O-ring is
removed together with the oil filter cartridge.
If the O-ring remains attached to the crank-
case, oil leakage may occur.
