Brute Force 650 Oil Change: 1.85 qts. Capacity

This article explains how to change oil on a Brute Force 650, including tools needed, the oil capacity and a free "how to" video.  Our demonstration was preformed on a 2013 BF, but will work for all year models of the Brute Force 650 and the older Prairie 650.  Before getting started make sure to have the following on hand: 17mm socket, oil drain pan, 2 quarts of oil and oil filter.

Begin by warming the engine up, either driving it around or letting it idle until the fan kicks on.  Next remove the 17mm oil drain plug, located near the center of the middle skid plate.  Let the oil drain completely, it may take 10-15 minutes.  Next remove the automotive style oil filter, located on front of the engine, turn it counter clockwise to remove.  Next reinstall the 17mm drain plug and oil filter.  We installed a Wix 51358 oil filter for this Brute Force 650.  You will now need to fill the engine with 1.85 quarts of oil.  Many folks have their own preference of oil and the chart is recommendations from the Owner's Manual.
