Oil quantity: Without oil filter cartridge replacement: 3. 70 L (3. 91 US qt) (3. 26 Imp. qt) With oil filter cartridge replacement: 4. 10 L (4. 33 US qt) (3. 61 Imp. qt) ECA11620 G Make sure that no foreign material enters the crankcase. EAU20042 Transfer case oil The transfer case must be checked for oil leakage before each ride. If any leakage is found, have a Yamaha dealer check and repair the vehicle. In addition, the transfer case oil level should be checked and the oil must be changed at the intervals specified in the periodic maintenance and lubrication chart. Place the vehicle on a level surface and hold it in an upright position. NOTE: Make sure that the vehicle is positioned straight up when checking the oil level. A slight tilt to the side can result in a false reading.
