So another winter season on its way I thought I'd save myself about $150 and do the oil and filter change myself along with grease all fittings and any other maintenance that may be suggested. Currently on my cell and its truely the slowest most laggy pile of poo ever , so forgive me as this has been asked probably 1,237,000 times.
How tough is it to change the oil/filter. Any good threads, videos or write-ups on it?
I need to go buy a grease gun, but am curious on what grease to use on the sled. Also is there a diagram for all fitting that should be greased up?
I'm sure I'll have more questions but I just figured it's time I start working on my own things.

Changing the motor oil involves removing all body panels including both lower panels there are 2 x 10mm bolts on each side underneath. Remove the dipstick, then remove drain bolt under the oil reservoir. Then remove skid plate underneath sled by removing the quick fasteners. Filter and drain plug are now clearly visible. The drain plug is marked with a small triangle symbol (Allen head bolt) thus will drain remainder of crankcase oil that's left in the motor. After all oil is drained, remove oil filter and replace. Don't forget to put a skim of oil on the gasket before install. It's approximately 3.2L of oil to fill. Check the level on the dipstick after adding 3L and add as needed.(DO NOT THREAD DIPSTICK IN WHEN CHECKING).

I use the Yamalube suspension grease for suspension lube pivot points (not on bearings). $8.99 at Yamaha
