2006 Honda Foreman Rubicon oil change - ATVConnection.com ATV Enthusiast Community

I am borrowing my cousin's 2006 Honda Foreman Rubicon and need to change the oil in it but I do not have the owners manual. I saw Honda Mechanic posted part of the manual for someone earlier. Could you post the oil change pages for this ATV? Thanks!

I don't have the capacity to post part of the manual, but it takes 5.2 quarts with filter change. Oil rated API SG or better, and Jaso standard MA (meaning the oil is suitable for a wet clutch). 18 ft/lbs on the drain plug (don't overtighten). Oil filter changing is pretty self explanatory.

Oops, double post.

Anyhow, when you check the oil, be sure to let it idle 4 or 5 minutes (no throttle blipping) and let it sit for a couple minutes. Since it is a dry sump design, not doing the above can give you a totally inaccurate reading.

Also, welcome to the forum. Maybe a moderator could move this to the Honda section...
