I do the same thing when it starts 😂 I’m always like.. “hell yeah I didn’t break it!” Great step by step I use it every time 🤘🏼

[@day_RL]

yooo cboys i love ur vids man

Ye me to

[@motorcyclemichael2182]

Should probably check the oil level a second time after you run the bike a couple minutes after the oil change to ensure it’s not too low after it cycles through the engine....that’s what I do

[@senssii9828]

How do you check the oil level?

[@jonthelamb4549]

Rubel usually a dipstick or a sight glass if not there is a bolt somewhere and you fill the oil till it starts drain out of it

[@redrider533]

Absolutely you need to run the engine. This is called a “dry sump” engine meaning the engine doesn’t technically hold oil. That’s the job of the oil tank. This is so the motor can remain as small as possible and to sit as low as possible in the frame to maintain a low center of gravity. You have to run the engine after adding initial oil volume and then check the level. You may need to do this a few times

[@jamespendergrass8164]

This was sooooooo helpful. I bought a 2017 raptor but couldn’t ride it that much over the winters here in Alaska but when I checked my oil last week just for it to be black, so I went straight to this video as it helped so much on my first time changing the oil on my quad and I just got back from riding right after changing the oil at my friend’s house and I used this exact method and it worked flawlessly first try without hiccups. A couple day before, I also used your same exact method for changing the coolant, it wasn’t ready to be changed but I wanted that crappy stock “company standard” coolant out of my 9,000 expensive engine. Im trying to get a summer job so I can get some actually useful mods and some eye candy mods as well as buy some fresh Maxxis race tires and some Maxxis snow tires so I can actually ride. I’m tired of sitting inside on winter days. Winters in Alaska last 7-8 months.

[@mxb5346]

I've changed my '19's oil 7 times since New. And EVERY time I watch this great video. What I did this last time is Jack-up the oil filter side and it prevents oil from leaking out of the oil filter area. 👌👍

[@erickgutierrez2181]

Did you only need two quarts because I just finishing changing the oil on my 19 raptor and it needs more oil In the oil pan

[@mxb5346]

@@erickgutierrez2181 yes. It was actually less than 2 qts. The first few oil changes I did, it took the entire 2 quarts , but now it's more like 1 3/4.

Hi Moto. I living in Florida state. What's is better oil 10w 40 Mobil 1 o Yamalube 10w 50 semi synthetic?? 2017 raptor 700r

[@brianmiller4466]

Kewl vid. 👍🏻👍🏻 Raptor lil different to my Z. Bit of a pain filling two locations. Anyway, heres a thought. After pouring in your 1 1/2 - 3/4 qts of oil you should start the motor briefly, turn it off and let it stand for a min to allow the oil in the head to drain back before doing your final level check. Ive never been inside a Raptor motor but I’m sure theres a few nooks and crannies beyond filling the filter. Oh n you should leave the paper towels in the kitchen. Pick up a box of rags er least some rag on a roll blue shop towels. Im sure some one gets pissed every time that holder goes empty. Lol. Cheers

[@SwipeEnt]

What happens if u put more than half in the case

[@jerryrodriguez2581]

What should I do, input 2 Quartz in my case

"you just stick it in there until it's kinda flush and feels solid..." Good advice 👍🤭

Thanks for posting! New to all this and video was a great help!

[@SirSlyBird]

If you don't have an appropriate size allen key wrench, you can use a torque bit on an allen hex head with no issues at all. By my experience torques are a tighter fit in allen hex head. Prevents stripping.

[@coriereynolds4145]

Torx

[@jamespendergrass8164]

This is very helpful thx man

[@Motoposh]

+James Pendergrass Sure thing!

[@TheSkystrider]

I don't understand why there is a need to drain and fill in two places. Wouldn't you just drain from the lowest point, then do filter, then fill from one place?

[@jimmiealldredge1939]

I wonder, if you removed the drain pug before you removed the radiator cap if you would avoid the mess with vacuum holding the coolant until you cracked the radiator cap. It would drain quicker with drain plug all the way out... Nice job.

[@Davido50]

Good thorough process! I think you can go "every other oil change" on the oil filter. Is that correct?? I pickup my new '21 Raptor 700R-SE in few wks when it arrives (Covid backordered!). I've ordered some oil filters ..k&n , twin air. Looking @Yamalube 10w40 Full synthetic or Motul 300V full synthetic. Prob go w/ Yamalube! Castrol Power 4T full synthetic gets excellent ratings & its 10.99qt! Better deals on full case.

[@Ryan-hp6xt]

You probably could, but for a $6 fram filter, I'll change it every time anyways. Probably wouldn't cause an issue, but not a risk I'd ever want to take to save $6.

[@RCQuadPatriot94]

Just did an oil change on an ‘07, after it ran for a few minutes it was way down low. Do I add more oil once I’ve ran it or do I leave it alone?

[@Motoposh]

How much oil did you add to the case and tank? If you added 2 quarts total then leave it alone

[@bikerzone3045]

Good morning clutch cover side oil how many litres and oil cooler place how many litres

[@Motoposh]

It's all the same oil. It's a wet clutch (uses the engine oil) and the oil tank overflow gets about 1.25 quarts

[@corypeni8035]

VERY IMPORTANT I HAVE ALREADY FUCKED UP ONCE. Make sure you DO NOT over tighten the oil drain bolt 3:13 I fucked up and stripped mine, luckily I was able to tap the case and put a helicoil in, but this could've been avoided if I used a torque wrench. Its a good investment

[@peterlbos]

Just 1 comment. Just as the old oil flows better warm, also if you remove the filler plugs first your oil evacuates much faster taking more debris and rubbish with it. Not to mention much quicker as a bonus.

[@raphy700r4]

Thanks for this video 👍👍👍👍👌

[@hookinncookinwithchrisandt1596]

Hey man looking for some guidance, I understand the crankcase has a crush washer that needs replacing, is that a M14 size? Also the oil tank, idk if this washer needs replacing as well but if so, is that a regular washer or crush washer and what size is that? Thanks in advance

[@Motoposh]

M14 is the correct size yes. The oil tank bolt does not have a washer that needs replacing. -Josh

Heyy I have a 2017 Yamaha Raptor 700R and I was doing an oil change and I have a question, when I was taking off the bolt to drain the oil from the oil tank and when I took off the bolt there was no washer on the bolt, is there supposed to be a washer? Thanks.

[@Motoposh]

Just reread what you wrote. And no - I'm pretty sure there is not supposed to be a washer on the oil tank bolt. Just the case one

I just changed the oil on an 06, and it has a washer on the oil tank bolt

[@hughezhughez9858]

[@willjennings983]

I have the same four wheeler as you. I did his method where I put 18oz in the case and then a full quart and a half in the oil res and I’m reading inanely low oil. Did that happen to you by chance?

[@crfisaiah3963]

So lil over half in the case then one quart and a half in the tank

[@Ryan-hp6xt]

Remove the oil filter first , then do the tank, then the case. Drain them with the oil filter cover off, it'll drain faster and get more gunk out. If all you do is pull a plug your draining in a vacuum condition, pull the oil filter first you break that vacuum.

Hi I wanted to ask a question and I’m hoping u can answere me I have a raptor and I don’t know what kind of oil it contains and if I mix it with another type of oil is it okayy ??

[@Motoposh]

I use semi-synthetic 10w-50. You can use a different oil if you'd like, But make sure it's an oil that is meant for wet clutches. Theres plenty of oil out there that are, it's just important you use one that has the correct additives. I wouldn't reccomend mixing oils

[@thethiefonthecross9092]

Not using the right oil will eventually shorten the life of your ATV maybe not by a lot but it will shorten it some well that's what I was told LOL

"Once u oil the seal its just makes a better seal" - haha lol no man u oil the seals so they come off easier when replacing the filters again, oil makes a lubricated area and if u dont oil the seal its gonna glue on the engine surface

Dude my oil is not full and no it’s not leaking where do I fill it up at

The silver oil tank. Your engine will pull oil from your tank when its running

Where did you get the info on how much oil to add into the crank case ? Thanks

[@Motoposh]

The manual

[@User37621]

MotoPosh Thanks I found it and gonna follow that. You have guys saying put a full quart in the case but I won’t.

[@Motoposh]

Sounds good, yeah I've always added a little over half a quart to crackcase. 1.5 ish to the overflow tank 👍

[@LIBNAN69]

What happens if you put in too much oil in both the case and tank? Would it burn off?

[@Motoposh]

Yes. Too much oil and you will have "blow-by"... the oil pressure in your case will be too high and will start blowing through your piston rings and eventually that will ruin your engine. Very important you do not overfill. A little too much won't hurt but an entire extra quart would be bad.

Congrats on the new Raptor! I would do your first oil change after 10-15 hours of ride time. After you do your first oil change you're okay to change it less frequently depending on what conditions you ride it. If you ride in sand or dirt it's always better to change it more often. And yes change the filter whenever you change the oil!

If you think a Raptor 700 is a lot of maintenance, go buy an RZR SxS and ride it for 3 years, then go back to a raptor 700... You'll be screaming for joy that you don't have ujoints, complex roll pins, wheel bearings, etc etc to maintain. Maintaining an ATV is fairly straight forward whereas a sxs uses more time for maintenance than it does riding... I left atv's, went to sxs's and now I'm back to atvs and I'm soo much happier lol.

They make a reducer adaptor for when they need rethreaded, it'll reduce the size of the bolt and give you stronger threads to make it less likely to happen again. Basically the reducer becomes permanent and then you have steel threads on the reducer instead of aluminum.

In my opinion the blends are not worth the extra money just go to a full Synthetic like Red line, AMSOIL or even Ryalpurple as they use tier 5 base oils.
