Thanks a lot for this video! Just got a 99 300 trx last month and it's been due for a oil change. I had no idea where the filter was and no clue how much oil it would take. I'll be changing it asap.
Had a bad carb that would allow the gas in the line after shutting off fuel to enter crank, 3rd carb in 2 years.. the stock carb was damaged by previous owner, replacement ones had issues with needle n seat corroding, assuming 2nd one did same, would shut off fuel every time shut down unit and still gas was getting into crank.. Finally a 3rd doesn't seem to be doing it, but that gas had ethanol which absorbed water and since I never get much more than 10 minutes of riding at a time, just use to get mail, drag boat out of lake in fall, pull trailer for wood on property, etc.. had been changing oil without the filter and that must have kept a small amount of dirty oil each time and she was milky right away.. now with sub zero temps, got that last carb installed, seems like every carb has its own choke design, but got the choke working properly. Previous carb would start up -20F without priming, that gas from line to bowl emptying out after every use, likely didn't need, this one full choke starts 20F on up no prime, every 10F colder requires 1 pump... so think issue is fixed, just need to get that milky oil out.. no crank vent like a street bike, hoping this next oil change with filter cures the issue. may take longer ride around lake if it warms up, no real joy being a glasses wearer to rider her too far in extreme cold, no goggles give me more than a few minutes before icing up when extreme cold,, wanted a snorkel to exhale, will have to design one to fit my mask.. anyhow,, good video.. been running 15-40 Delvac in all my bikes. at -30F was almost too thick, if she didn't start up so fast the 7 year old battery may have let me down.. I see you ran 10w synthetic oil, a bike oil, may try a synth diesel oil in her next, no friction modifiers to mess with clutches in diesel oil.. I pulled plug wire off and spun her over a few times and few more ounces came out.. but had filter in it... didn't know we could go to 10w oil.. that would be handy in this cold...
Eugene Krabs they are bout bulletproof I’ve bought mine in 2009 & had the top end rebuilt( new piston & rings) due to the owners kid riding it for years & not checking or changing the oil & since rebuild in 2010 I’ve had zero problems but one bad wire that’s it extremely reliable
I watch a lot of different videos of people changing the oil in their Honda FourTrax 300's and by far are the best video!

Thanks man good to know. I might wanna considering changing mine since it hasn’t been done in probably 20 years😂😂😂
I wouldn’t jack the front way in the air like that cause there is still a lil old oil in the transmission , changing it on flat ground is best
Excellent tutorial! Thanks

good enough. just what i needed to know.
Great video
Thank You
Thx man
Are you sure you can use that oil ?
Nice tutorial. Do you still have this ATV? thinking about buying one and wondering if these quads are reliable thanks.
Eugene Krabs yeah I still got it. It's super reliable. Just dragged it out of the she'd for the first time in months and it fired right up.

Is it hard to change the linkage oil? Or 4x4 oil?
What year is that
Can you use 10w-40 oil instead?
If it's a motorcycle oil then yes. The motorcycle oil has friction modifiers for the automatic transmission.
DirtRoad Garage automatic transmission mine is manual ??
Are you sure that oil is safe for that four wheeler?
yeah. as long as it's 10w-40 oil meant for wet clutches it's good. that's what most motorcycle oils are
Me
Should've primed the filter
Agree
You put oil filter on backwards
He did it correctly
Lol
lol no bueno anigo
