Yamaha Viking - engine oil & filter change
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 вер 2024
- Another of the service procedures on a 2014 Yamaha Viking side-by-side ATV. In this video I show you the correct procedure for changing the vehicle's engine oil.
In the video I cover the procedure as per the Yamaha Workshop manual for draining the old engine oil, removing the old oil filter, fitting a new one & re-filling the engine with the correct amount of new oil.
All specifications & torque settings are included as is the type & quantity of oil that needs to be used. I also a couple of tips & tricks that make the job a little easier too...
Any questions or comments just leave them blow and I'll do my best to get back to you shortly...

Very helpul video that is what I was looking for I have a Yamaha viking VI and it’s gonna my first time to do the oil change thank you !
Hi,just purched 2nd hand viking,note front and rear tyres are different sizes,is this normal?
Thanks
Warren
Yes, but only different widths
Just wanted to drop a line and say thanks for the videos, I have a viking and your videos have been a great help for maintenance. cheers !
Andy I’m a rank amateur but thanks to your video and advice I can tick this box! Your recommendation on the oil filter tool was great. That could have been a real challenge without it. I asked the local Yamaha dealer here in Australia for the filter tool and he had no idea what I was talking about. A bit of research and I found out Toledo also make them. Your videos are great.
The part number of the oil filter was 5GH-13340-50 not FGH, you made a mistake Andy.
Thank you for the video easy to understand. I have a 2015 Wolverine side by side and the Viking video is relevant/nearly the same for mine. Only difference is the dipstick is under the centre consul between the seats that lifts out. Mine takes 2.3L with a new filter and the graphic on the video said it needs 2.3L but you said 2.6L. Not sure if that is a conversion difference but wanted to point that out. In any event I will use your technique when filling it to stop run the engine a bit let it settle and check it and top it up if necessary.
Thank you again this is very helpful to me.
Evidently my torque wrench is messed up because I stripped my drain plug out going to 22 ft lbs. oops. For now it seems to be doing ok on half the threads maybe one day I’ll put a bigger one or something
“Hose pipe” All this time I thought that was lingo only us southerners use😂
Thanks Steve....lots more to come. Starting on the Rav4 engine diagnostics, removal, rebuild etc....tomorrow. Have a great day & big thank you for your support, looks like you were right, the popularity of my channel is definitely picking up... cheers :-)
Thank you
Thank you
Hi! Since your videos are so helpful and appreciated do you think you could make one on how to do a aliment on a Yamaha Viking? Thanks
Some guy named Steve Rob (Ya ya i know who the hell has two first names) said you are awesome so I came over and what do ya know..you talk funny (Your accent). It is cool and so we subbed to your channel and look forward to watching. -John
+The Plow Guys Hey, that's great John, pleased you understand the things I'm saying! Yorkshire lingo isn't always the easiest. Great to have you on board. Cheers Andy
Hey andy I looked at the viking looks like it had kinda hard miles 614miles and the front axle going in to the middle hub on right side it has a little wiggle.left side dont.he will take 7900.its a 2014 viking with eps.is that a big issue.would u buy?14.2 volts at idle.and the radiator was just hanging .not damaged but i put it back into the rubber spots.it dont bolt down.thanks for the help.i told my buddies about ur channel they saw one video and they subscribed they also have Yamaha...im gonna head out n probably get her
+Derek Gagne Radiator should have two retaining bolts at the top if I remember. Sounds an okay price.
Hey its derek again.my phone wont let me read that reply...but im low on tools so i might be able to look at oils.check the level and what the oil looks like? It has 650miles on it.so 8000.is that a gd price if its in good shape.and what was u saying to check.i probably wont have tools but i just dont wanna get scewed...thank you so much for replying and helping.i got 2 more videos to watch and ill be caught up to date and i just found ur videos Friday...lovv them.learning alot ! T.Y.
Hey andy i looked at the viking looks like it had kinda hard 600 miles but he will take 7900 all stock. But on the front axle were it goes into the middle hub that side that goes in has a little play when u shake it.other side dont.should i be worried. Should i buy it in your opinion?
Andy - do you have a video on how to lubricate the CV joints?
Great video.
Well done. Informative.I have done several items as you have shared.The oil filter tool makes life much easier.
Andy, have a question. I just purchased a 2014 Viking with 628 miles on it. The previous owner said he used synthetic oil. Do I need to continue using synthetic or can I change to regular Yamaha 10w-40 oil. Thanks. Good video.
It's the Yamalube semi synthetic that you should use in the Viking - it's fine to switch back.
We have 2-Vikings for Ranch use and this is immensely helpful as you mentioned we are working stiffs as well and do as many repairs as we can. Thank You!
No problem at all :-)
Well done Andy. Cheers
Damn.....you are correct Danila, oh well, not much I can do about it now but thanks for pointing it out for me....cheers.
Hey Andy thanks for this video my brother amazing stuff here , listen if you can please email me so I can have your contact info , if you don't mind I'm working on our companies Yamaha Vikings and seem the right guy to talk to !! I would love to hear back from you my name is Joel
+Joel Nathan sure, email is: andymechanic@live.co.uk
+Joel Nathan email sent on previous message. Let me know you got it okay..
crush washer part #?
Im thinkin bout getting a viking ove ry a honda...is that a good idea.if so when I look at tv his 2014viking what should i look at to kno if its been beat or is junk ect??? And if i get it do u think a dbs clutch would be the best way to get more midrange power?
+Derek Gagne Check the basics, bushes, bearings, play in final drive and front diff. Dip the oils if owner let's you. CV and Tripod joints for play plus UJ's on front prop shaft too though hard to get to. Check steering rack and column plus inner & outer rack ends - if you come across a lot of items showing wear then the vehicle has had a hard life & needs to be cheap. Also pull drain bung from CVT drive and use a torch....if dirty inside then forget it - vehicle hasn't been well looked after and probably used in deep water or muddy environment
Check Wheel bearings and UJ's on steering column. Also check charging rate - should be 14.5v at fast idle - dash display shows battery voltage so easy to check.
Hope this helps. Cheers Andy
Ok i just got to this..can i check the belt without tools.dont it have a drain plug. It has 650miles so it should be all tight huh? For 8000 cash.so with only 650miles what are some things if i see u would say no dont get if it has "that " with only 650 miles...T.Y.
+Derek Gagne 650 miles is very low. Drain bung for CVT is right at the bottom of the outer black cover.

Is it the end of the world if I don’t replace the washer on the drain plug?
Washer? No, the World will still be here tomorrow :-)
Andy Mechanic oops yes I meant washer. So it’s fine if I didn’t replace it? Also thanks for the amazing video. It helped me a ton today
Andy which way is the crush washer installed?
Thanks for all you do.
Sam
+Sam Rimpel I always put the flat side to the bolt head but I don't think it matters to be fair. Cheers Andy
Good job on the videos you create.
Thanks Chad. Appreciate your feedback. Have a great day. Andy
Thanks Andy! Excellent video as always!
+Scott Siercks Cheers Scott
Thank you for posting this!
No problem. Hope you found it helpful. Cheers Andy
Man you can say that again! :)
Golly, I have no idea why it posted the same reply so many times! Cheers for now Andy
Great video, thanks! I appreciate your easy to understand/follow delivery that makes sense to us non-motorheads! We just purchased a 2016 Viking VI Ranch Edition and it's due the initial (20 hour) oil change, so I will have your video pulled up while I do. I am subscribing now, but haven't looked at your other videos yet. Do you cover chassis lube and other maintenance?
Cheers,
