I'm new to this forum and have a new zforce 800 trail and its ready for its first oil change.  How hard is it change the oil.  The dipstick seems to be hard to access.

Welcome. Pretty easy. I pull the small plate off under the engine to get to the drain plug. I also pull the right rear tire off to get batter access to the filter and cover. You do fill it through the dip stick and the hose on the funnel they provide is..IMO..too large to fit easily into the dipstick hole so I replaced it but use the same funnel where others just use a transmission funnel. There is an access panel behind the passenger seat so take that seat out too. After you do it a few times it will become routine.

Welcome! How many km do you have on it?

I think I'm the only one that doesn't think the dipstick is all that hard to get to. Now I don't think it is the best place as dirt can easily fall into it if its not clean, but I have no trouble getting to it.
