Bought mine used so first thing I did was switch the diff fluids to Synthetic and the oil to Rotella T6 5w40 which is wet clutch compatible. Use a K&N filter with the nut on top for easy changing. Hundreds of kms and many years later still purring like a kitten. Great machine.

Great job at explaining the process step by step, very easy to follow and a professional job

I love this man. You have saved me hundreds of dollars. Seriously thank you from the bottom of my heart

BeerBottleBaby thank you..and thanks for watching!

I just got my used kodiak and wondered if there were any odd tricks to changing the oil. Apparently not. I was almost preparing to leave some smart-Alec comment but then you told everyone to turn the torque wrench down to zero. If you were one of my employees you would have just got a promotion for basic responsibility. Also the filter wrench tip was quite good. I guess what I’m saying is this video was very well made and informative and I wish more people did them this way. Thanks for taking some pride in your work, wish you success.

Perfect for my 2001! Thanks a ton!!

Thank you for your video as I didn't know about filter wrench.I am going to buy today hehehe

nice grizzly 450 -07 this video helped a lot

I found that the drain plug with the screen is a 19mm

I found an online manual that gives all the specs. Not connected with it, and don't know if somebody would get mad if I posted a link to it, so I won't, but it IS out there to be found and is a complete version. Very helpful to me as a new owner.

Great video! What is the oil capacity and weight?

Good info!

Could you drain the oil through the middle bolt only in theory?

Thank you bro

Can you buy owner manuals for them? I have a 03 Kodiak and no manual forit

How much do I torque down the screen drain?

Go to the lowest setting on the torque wrench, don’t go past it and don’t go to zero. If the lowest setting is 15 then put it on 15.

So that's what my quad looked like when it was new!

Lol seriously. Mine looks like it sat near the surface of the sun for a couple decades. Still runs like a top though!

Здравствуйте, скажите пожалуйста а сколько пробег?

Not metal, clutch, wet clutch. That’s why it’s important to change the oil.

What size torque wrench needed for engine oil drain bolt? 1/4 drive or 3/8 drive ? What’s the torque spec on that bolt 18?

@design2survive

3/8 would most likely work. I can’t remember. It seems like they were around 15ftlb or so. You can download the manual online and it will have the torque for that. 1/4 drives are usually in inch lb and I use those on things like 10mm bolts and smaller stuff.

How much oil did you put in it

@joelbell1360

Needs 2.5 quarts. It holds 2 quarts for sure with filter change. Then add just shy of half a quart to be on the hash marks.

hi what oil do you use?

You should buy 3 quarts. If you remove the screen plug at the bottom, it uses 2.7 quarts to refill.
