Thanks Ive got the identical 06 Special edition only had it about a month and you info on the 17mm drain blot and 10mm cover bolts saved some time and the rag trick saved a big mess thanks again
MARKE SURE RADIATOR IS GOOD AND CLEAN, CHECK THAT THE FAN IS WORKING (FUSE, WIRING) PLUS THE THERMOSTAT OR MAYBE ITS TIME FOR A COOLANT CHANGE HOPE THIS HELPS THANKS FOR WATCHING
ok so I have a 05 660 grizzly all auto electric. it only has 1200 miles, and when I loaded it up on the trailer after riding I noticed it was leakin oil on the trailer. the highest water I went through was up to my ankles when resting on the foot rest(were the brake is and supposed to be when in riding position. so I don't think the water is the case, however I do not know for sure. I am home now, and fired it up and let it warm up for 5-10 mins and there was no dripping coming from any where. I then checked the oil and it was low. so I guess 1st what could of caused my oil leak? and 2nd what type of oil should I put in my quad and where should I put the new oil in? sorry if this is a stupid question. TIA.
its definitely engine oil. black and dirty as all sin more than likely from the dirt on the skid plate..... dosent have a gassy smell to it which is good..... I will look at the drain plug and the crush washer and pray that's whats wrong and hope its nothing serious. it surprised me as I have not gone through deep water or had it for that long.... this was my 2nd trip taking it out...:( do these things have any weak spots or known fails or sorts of stuff like that, that we should be looking out for?
the oil leak may also be from the last oil change, it may have been on the frame or skid plate. and that quad is a good dependable machine unless it was beaten before you. and also water can get everywhere quickly plus it may have come from the belt cover
that's what my pops was saying, is it could be from the last oil change. Some oil got collected or something and it just some how stayed on the skid plate until it got warm enough from a long ride. in my mind I think that's kind of hard because the different terrain. I have a 03 yzf 250 4 stroke and I have fallen in creecks and for a second my bike will be almost completely submerged until i get it back up and it will be 100% fine. In addition have seen videos of guys running these grizzlys through rivers until only the top half is above water. yet when I get one the first little creek I go through messes it up. Just saying that makes me think either its a loose bolt or like you said washer or this leak has been going on for a little.

thanks mann, just bought a used 2001 grizzly 600, now i have a much better idea where things are for my first oil change.
THank you
Just bought an 06. Thanks for this video.
Just a helping tip, it makes less of a mess changing your oil if you take the extra 5 mins to take the skid plate off...it's only a few extra bolts.
Thanks for posting, bought a used 2003 not too long ago, this vid helps!!
My snow plow mount is right where the oil drains. What a mess !

Glad it’s not mine with all the activity around the open dipstick hole.
THANKS FOR THE TIP, I WILL TRY THAT NEXT TIME
hi , thank you for your video ..... from spain
Great video... I got my first ATV ('05 Grizzly 660) and I am going to do my first oil change next week... what oil do you use ?
Thanks !
Thanks for sharing this video!
I can't seems to find where to fill the oil up at. do I just fill it up by the dipstick place?
+Samuel Gotwalt yes you fill your oil through the dipstick hole

if its engine oil its 10w40 or 10w30 and it goes in the dipstick hole. I would check the drain plug for leaks, the crush washer may need replaning
