You will find that the front differential drain plug will be covered in metal, but don't be alarmed, it is normal clutch wear on these units.

 

make sure your dealer gets the corect fluid for the front end they seem to get it mixed up with angle drive gear oil........ it takes demand drive fluid

 

When you put the transfer case drain plug, transfer case check plug, tranny drain plug, and rear differential drain plugs back in, DO NOT over-tighten these. It says in the manual 30-45 INCH pounds.

I have found getting these just hand tight is good enough. In places you can't get your hands into, use one of those little thumb ratchets.

And if you find small pieces of rubber gasket in the transfer case fluid, don't be alarmed at that. I was told that Polaris goes over the top with the sealant in the insides of these and the excess eventually breaks loose.

 

If you do it your self, make sure you fill up both of the fill plugs for the tranny!! There is an upper and lower fill plugs!!

 

There is (1) fill plug and (1) drain plug for the transmission. (The fill plug is the check plug on this)

There is (1) fill plug, (1) drain plug *AND* (1) check plug for the transfer case. (The fill plug IS NOT the check plug on this)

This is the easist way to fill up:

Use exactly 24 oz of Polaris AGL 2873602 in the transmission.

Use exactly 14 oz of Polaris AGL 2873602 fluid in the transfer case.

 

You also don't have to go with the Polaris fluids.... Changed mine out with Royal Purple from front to rear. No problems!

 

You can use Amsoil too..

 

X2

I've used Amsoil since the first service with no problems.

 

Has anyone had any good/bad experiences to share about the front/rear diffs or the tranny? I have just over 200 miles and plan to change them with the Polaris oils in a few days. I just wanted to get your opinions on when the next one should be. Has anyone done the initial change and found a lot of metal shavings?

You can use Amsoil too..

What grades?

 

For the trans and t case: Amsoil Series 2000 Chaincase Oil

Rear Diff: Amsoil Severe Gear 75w90 or if you take your RZR swimming Amsoil Synthetic Marine Gear Lube SAE 75W/80W-90

Front Diff: Amsoil ATF

 

so is this what you amsoil guys use

 

I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this question, and I'll probably get blisters on my ass for asking it, but...

Can I top off the factory fluids with the Amsoil / Mobil 1 equivalents, or do I need to drain off the factory stuff before filling up with the other?

My main gearcase is a bit low, and I didn't buy enough of the Amsoil chaincase lube to do a total swap.

 

Paul I would not recommend doing that. Different oils have different additive packages and it is not good to mix them, and can sometimes cause problems.
Now that wasn't so bad was it?....Not a single blister on your ass!.....:rofl3:
