I am in the middle of changing mine for the first time and came in to look for any hacks to make it simpler. I can't believe the manual advises you to (always) check the oil before you drive it! Are they kidding? You'd have to take off the seat, then remove what I believe the manual calls a "console" (It's just a cover over the engine that sits under the seat). Just to check the oil. Ha. Thats 5 bolts. But I also took the seat back off for more room to work and to be able to get a socket on the back of the seat bottom bolts because I couldn't find a 10mm box wrench, another 8 bolts to get that off. Lord knows what I'll have to remove to get to the drain plug & filter. at least the air filter looks like it will be pretty accessible & easy to replace. With that being said, we love our "Lil Red". It is the best $6k I've spent for this ranch. 2 of the Grandkids have learned to drive it safely, ages 11 & 8. Thanks for the video... from the Martin DD Ranch in NE Texas while we're at it, what about fuel? The manual recommends 91 octane or over. Anyone have any problems using 87(regular) unleaded? Thats all I put in it and haven't had any problems.

rhino ramps make things sooooo much easier for underneath work......

[@WorleyFamilyHomestead]

I need to get a set of those.

[@Debidawg]

Thanks so much for your review after a year video. I’ve been looking at many brands and made the same realization that all the accessories would cost so much more from others, but this comes with them! Drove one yesterday, $7,999. I’ll pbuy it now. Tks again 🥳🥳🥳

[@WorleyFamilyHomestead]

Hey, We have really had good luck with ours. We use it everyday. I think you will like it. Good to hear from you.. Thanks

[@elaineinmaine7971]

We found ours for sale at $7500 at Tractor supply

[@pauld7309]

I just won one in a raffle. Best ,$20 I've ever spent. Lol Haven't even drove it yet. Hopefully she'll be a Goodin!!

[@ebony5766]

Thank you for this! I am a 69 yr old woman trying to figure this out myself and this is the only video I have found!

[@WorleyFamilyHomestead]

I'am glad it helped. We just past 1,000 miles on ours. It has been a great machine. Thanks for watching and come back to see us when you can.

[@firsttankcrews]

Agree, a great "how to" video with great camera work and editing. Thanks for sharing your lives with us again

[@WorleyFamilyHomestead]

Thanks. Kim was doing most of the camera work. I kinda enjoy editing the videos too......

[@sumtingwong4997]

You just helped me change my oil. Took one of the commenters advice and matched the filter up at Walmart. Have had zero problems with my coleman ut400. Only 25 hours on it though so we'll see.

[@WorleyFamilyHomestead]

Glad it helped. Thanks for watching the video...

[@webisutton01]

Which filter did you end up buying at Walmart?? Thanks in advance!! I have a little over 20 hours on mine and it's due!!

[@danburks7717]

Did yours take way more than 2.2 to get up on the dipstick?

[@nyrainman4897]

Looking at your video, at marker 6:08, when you are taking off the bottom plate and looking for the drain bolt, you can see the oil filter clearly and I was wondering if that would be easier to remove the filter from underneath instead of from on top?

[@rockinwithryan]

It's a toro v twin oil filter. Part number 136-7848p.

[@WorleyFamilyHomestead]

Thank you. I will write that down for the next time.

[@donyarborough4561]

Save your old filter and take it with you to Walmart and check it with Fram filters and I bet you’ll find one that matches for around $4.00. I have done that with just about everything I have. Great videos. I really enjoy watching and thanks for all you you do.

[@WorleyFamilyHomestead]

That is a good idea. I appreciate it and thanks for watching.

[@bcain5823]

I can't believe that Coleman didn't list the oil filter type in their manual or specs!

[@heisrisen6898]

G gosh on dang that bolt was about 1 Mile long honky doodle long.

[@WorleyFamilyHomestead]

It sure was. Thanks for joining us.

[@grickteecorbin9772]

man that was great!!! I have been dreading but you showed me how..

[@WorleyFamilyHomestead]

That's good to hear. Glad to help. Thanks for watching.

[@9Antonian]

Tractor supply sells the oil change kit for these UTVs.

[@WorleyFamilyHomestead]

It's about time to change ours again. I will stoop by Tractor Supply and pick one up. thanks for letting us know.

[@kelvingravel8699]

Great video again thanks, superb job on the oil change so satisfying when you can do your own maintenance, stay safe 👍.

[@WorleyFamilyHomestead]

Thank you. It was easier than I thought it would be. I like doing my on work when I can.

[@jamesm568]

You kind of have to do your own maintenance on these things as hardly any outside shops will touch them. I will never let a Coleman service center touch it.

[@jaredbrockwayable]

Hercules makes a wrench too that works off the same batteries as your impact. Very nice tool

[@WorleyFamilyHomestead]

That sounds good. I will have to look into getting one. Thanks for letting me know and thanks for watching...

[@jaredbrockwayable]

@@WorleyFamilyHomestead lol thanks for showing me how to change the oil on my buggy!! Stay safe out there guys!!

[@WorleyFamilyHomestead]

Glad it was helpful. Thanks and you stay safe too!!!

[@mikeobenland4395]

Do you actually have to take the skid plate off to get to the drain plug? Also, when you check the oil level do you screw in the filler cap or just check it without screwing it in?

[@WorleyFamilyHomestead]

Yes. I did have to take part of the skid plate off to get to the drain plug. It was not that bad to take off. I usually do both when checking the oil. But I believe the right way is to do it with out screwing it back in. Thanks.

[@tonyrobinson2683]

Thanks again for posting something that I can understand and do. Good camera work and you explained everything that a dummy like myself can understand.. Great job! I'm still waiting for your video on using the 4 wheel , etc and the wrench. Thanks again for helping this dumb man out!

[@WorleyFamilyHomestead]

Thanks, Not many videos on the ole Coleman. Kim was doing the camera work for me. I still need to do the video on the wench and 4 wheel drive. It will be coming up soon. Thanks again for visiting with us...

[@tonyrobinson2683]

@@WorleyFamilyHomestead I'm ready anyt time for your video on the wench and 4 wheel drive. Bought popcorn so I can watch the video over and over until iI had it down "pat".

[@ACDInc1]

Thanks for the video. Hard to find any maintenance manuals on this thing. Was wondering why you did not use full synthetic motor oil. I don’t have a chain oil filter wrench. Was wondering if I remove the other skid plate would the filter be more accessible.

[@WorleyFamilyHomestead]

Hey, There are not many videos on the Coleman. Not really sure why I didn't use synthetic oil. I don't think removing the other skid plate will give you antmore room. They make a filter wrench that fits on a ratchet that looks like a socket. I think that will work the best and give the most room. When I get one i will do another video with the correct size. thanks

[@danburks7717]

@@WorleyFamilyHomestead That’s what I used. Works perfectly. Mine was on super super tight from the factory but hand tight plus 1/4 from now on and I don’t think I’ll have to take that hose loose.

[@dr.jerrygustafson7680]

The manual says NOT to use synthetic oil or diesel oil or energy saving oil or oil additives since your engine oil also lubricates the clutch which you do NOT want to slip.

[@swohiobees]

I'm surprised your UT400 starts without holding in the break pedal. That would be handy. Any idea how to change the Spark Plug in this thing?

[@WorleyFamilyHomestead]

I am surprised too. The only time it will not start is when it is in forward or reverse. I haven't changed my plugs yet but they don't look too bad to change. Probably have to remove the seat and dump the body to get to them.

[@nyrainman4897]

Due for my first oil change and there is controversy on whether or not to use conventional or full synthetic oil. The manual doesn't specify which and someone mentioned to me that full synthetic oil can cause clutch slippage. Any recommendations?

[@WorleyFamilyHomestead]

I used regular conventional oil. I have not have any problems with it. If you find out that the full synthetic oil is better please let me know. Thanks.

[@elaineinmaine7971]

It's the Hisun 400 you buy parts for that

[@WorleyFamilyHomestead]

I haven't had to replace any parts yet but I think Hisun would be the parts to use.

[@dgriffinm]

Really appreciate your time sharing your OHV, knowing what you know now, would you purchase this truck again

[@WorleyFamilyHomestead]

I would buy another one. The one I have has been a great machine. Thanks

[@petefromhillcountry3268]

Thanks for posting this. I have been looking for a video that goes through this for some time now and this is the first one that is comprehensive. Especially the part about removing the splash pan - great information! I'm due for an oil change on mine and now I can get it done with some added confidence.

[@WorleyFamilyHomestead]

I couldn't find any either. I hope to do more videos on it when other services are due and if anything should come up. Glad you liked the video. Thanks for watching...

[@daviddumbaugh5798]

Great video again. I agree with Bill, the engineers should have technicians or mechanics look over the design. Or have them work in a maintenance shop for off and on, at least as part of their training. Sure is a lot of grass to mow. Seems like the mower operator knows what she’s doing, though. Critters all looked good as usual. Until next time…

[@WorleyFamilyHomestead]

Hope all is well with you. That is a good idea to have someone look over the design before they build it. It was not so bad though except the oil filter. We do have a lot of grass and it is so hot and humid here now it seems to grow before you finish cutting it. I'm glad Kim likes to mowe. If I could just get her interested in the trim work i'd be set..... Good to hear from you.....

[@daviddumbaugh5798]

@@WorleyFamilyHomestead HaHa yeah, good luck with getting Kim interested in the trim work. I some how think your going to need it. ;) Thank for the chuckle!

[@jonn9603]

Thank you for the video tutorial. Very educational. What is your occupation?

[@WorleyFamilyHomestead]

Thank you. Not many videos on the Colemans. I am a deputy sheriff in North Carolina. Thanks for watching....

[@billhisey2920]

another good video, just wanted to add that the people who engineer things should try servicing it once or twice to see if it can be done a better way

[@WorleyFamilyHomestead]

I agree with you. If they had to work on them it seems like they would make it a little easier to get to things. Thanks again for joining us....

[@elaineinmaine7971]

What's the oil capacity

[@WorleyFamilyHomestead]

Without the oil filter changed it is 2.33 quarts. With the oil filter changed it takes 2.43 quarts

[@jamesm568]

Just don't force the drain plug if you can't get it off by hand. I haven't change the oil in mine yet as it's not a year old. I will be using the best synthetic I can find to put in it though.

[@WorleyFamilyHomestead]

Mine wasn't too bad to change. We have had good service from ours. Hope you have the same. Thanks for watching.

[@jamesm568]

@@WorleyFamilyHomestead The gear selector gets out of adjustment every now and then, but I noticed on the new ones the gear selector is a little bit better as forward and reverse actually lock into place on the gear selector.

it is Massimo full synthetic commercial grade UTV/ATV 4 stroke motor oil. SAE 10W-40. I got it on Amazon.

[@Boondocker101]

Great videos! I’ve watched several so far and I have subscribed. Keep up the great content!! By the tractor supply has a complete oil change kit available on there app. I just ordered mine for the first oil change and they shipped it to me for free . It comes with the filter and 3 quarts of 10w30 oil I think it was $49.99 .

[@WorleyFamilyHomestead]

Thank you for subscribing. I will have to check Tractor Supply and get the kit for the next service. Thanks again.

[@danburks7717]

I did my oil change and man it’s asking for way more than 2.2. Have you had to add more oil to get it topped up?

[@WorleyFamilyHomestead]

I don't think I did. To be honest I have not changed it since that video but it does need it done again. When I change it I will do a video and make sure to say how much it takes. Thanks for watching.

[@dr.jerrygustafson7680]

Manual says 2.43 quarts = 78 ounces.

[@dannyo957416]

How fast will it top out at

[@WorleyFamilyHomestead]

I have had mine 30 MPH according to the speedometer. I think it will go a little bit faster if you push it but 30 is about top speed.......

[@timpatrickhanna]

@@WorleyFamilyHomestead It tops out at about 40 mph on flat ground.

[@jamesm568]

40 to 45 MPH and 30 MPH cruising. Does better on all terrain tires though.
