Yes, the engine and transmission share the same oil. The gear oil being changed is for the front differential and rear final drive, which run in 80w or 75W-90 rated GL-5.
I only realized because a chunk of foam had been eaten out of the seat. When I took the seat off I found a family of small ones all over, and the mother living in the airbox with more. Some wires has been nibbled, but nothing cut. I had the same problem with a Porsche Cayman, and there they did eat through some wires - expensive. Great quad though, mine is almost 10 years old and hasn't missed a beat.
Turbine2k8 Yeah that is what the book says for filter change, but if you raise the front of the quad and/or let it drain for a long time you can get more out. Be sure when you check the oil that you let it idle several minutes (no throttle) and let it sit 10 minutes or so. Otherwise you won't get an accurate reading.
Good point I found that out makes a lot of difference to lift the front end up on the oil change
Yeah, you can get a surprising amount of additional oil out.

Haha this video is awesome. Cant wait to see the part where you will service the antifreeze
They are just Craftsman from Sears. IMHO not as nice as Snap-On, but a huge step up from the really cheap ones. They seem to be reasonably accurate.
Not really a fan of gauze type filters for off road, but it is one of those things where reasonable minds can differ.
No, the axles take GL-5 rated gear oil in 80W or 75W90.
I'm a little confused the Honda rincon doesn't need gear box oil change or the motor oil change is for both
When you were changing the oil in the back was that the regular 10W-40?
If I recall, the mount is KFI. Atv guru builds a better one.
do you have a video of spark plug?
Where do i get a ball which just like u have in the back?
I found rats living in my RIncon airbox....had to blow them out with a leaf blower!

Hopefully that's all they did. Those buggers can eat insulation off wires.

How much oil? Book says 2.9 litres, I put 3 in and still low on dip stick

@@JeffinTD My 2006 says 3.1 qt but by lifting front end and draining overnight, I was able to add 3.5 qt back in
