Lubrication Recommendations

Transmission Oil Check

The transmission oil dipstick (1) is located
on the right side of the vehicle. Check the
transmission oil level monthly or every
1000 miles (1600 km), whichever comes
first. Maintain the transmission oil level in
the SAFE operating range (2). Change
transmission oil annually. We recommend
the use of AGL Synthetic Gearcase
Lubricant. See page 110 for the part
numbers of Polaris products.
1. Position the ATV on a level surface.
2. Remove the transmission oil dipstick
and wipe it clean.
3. Reinstall the dipstick, then remove it and read the
oil level. If the level is low, add the recommended gearcase oil to
bring the level within the safe operating range on the dipstick.
4. Reinstall the dipstick.

Transmission Oil Change

transmission oil drain plug area.
