If you have the 1000 you can easily reach the filter under the seat, pop the storage box out and it's right behind it

[@pintobeans2973]

THANK YOU! Very easy to reach and change. Thanks again.

XP1000 or standard 1000

[@carlosredfoot9066]

Looks like a simple job to do I got a side by side myself thanks for sharing the video

[@spreadgeorgia]

Very helpful, informative and great visuals as to "how to" do all this. Thank you!

[@UTVDIRT]

Thanks! Glad I could help you out. Thanks for watching!

[@robertbumpas8505]

Thank you. Helps to know where filter is and how to access it.

[@UTVDIRT]

No problem. Glad I could help. Thanks for watching!

[@zackg8129]

Thanks for the video I am coming up to the first service on my 1k crew. You should look into getting the OEM upper brush guard. It made mine look a lot better and it is rugged!

[@UTVDIRT]

Thanks I have been looking at that brush guard and It does give it a rugged look. That might be the next purchase!

[@hhazelhoff1363]

We miss your awesome video’s, happy holidays 2021 cheers

[@UTVDIRT]

Thank you! Happy holidays!

[@TheBoz1911]

I always prefill the oil filter pat way also.

[@UTVDIRT]

Yes you can definitely prefill the oil filter. Thanks!

[@VL4Ron]

Great video! Could you have one on grease fitting location? That would be awesome!

[@charlesschanel9894]

second this

[@adventurerhoades]

New channel here. Great stuff utv smashed the like and rang the bell. I'll admit I'm not the most mechanically inclined. But these videos are really helpful. I did recently get a 89 year old out on a ride in mine ;:) pretty cool on video #28 Loving my 2019 ranger so far close to 700 miles no issues

[@UTVDIRT]

Thank you! I will check out your channel.

[@markbrick]

Watched the Polaris official video and this one is better. Nice job!

[@UTVDIRT]

Thank you! Glad we could help.

[@markbrick]

UTV DIRT hope you guys are making money off these. I have installed the backup lights, turn signals, front grill light bar, and bumper. All ordered thru your links to Amazon and E Bay.

[@UTVDIRT]

Nice! We make a little commission but hopefully the channel will keep growing. Thanks for the support!

[@jessecarter9692]

You’re the man.

[@UTVDIRT]

Thanks Jesse! Thanks for watching!

[@lakeywilder7144]

Just ordered me a kit thanks again

[@UTVDIRT]

No problem Lakey. Glad your still here I haven't heard from you in awhile. Lol

[@lakeywilder7144]

O yeah still following always the best videos

[@lakeywilder7144]

Is it a size on oil wrench?

[@UTVDIRT]

I believe it is 65mm wrench for oil filter

[@charrheel3659]

Polaris also recommends changing your front differential oil every 100 hours or thousand miles. Same with the rear.

[@UTVDIRT]

Yep you are correct. I will probably do a video on it when the time comes. Thanks for watching!

[@barrystephens900]

Do you have a video on your exhaust upgrade

[@UTVDIRT]

Yes I did a install video on the HMF exhaust. You can go to my channel and look under the video tab.

[@jfro1963]

Ever thought about the oil filter relocation?

[@UTVDIRT]

No I have not thought about relocating the oil filter. I don't thinks It's bad enough.

[@jeremeytaylor2433]

what do you clean your dash and inside with? I went trail riding last year and got the inside dusty and dirty and never been able to get it clean since

[@UTVDIRT]

Check out my video on how to clean your sxs to keep it looking new. I go step by step.

[@duanecarter3808]

I Have 2014 900 XP. I'm looking for replacement battery. Any ideas were to look?

[@UTVDIRT]

You can find them on Amazon. Check out the link. www.amazon.com/RG26P-WS-Polaris-Ranger-MAINTENANCE-BATTERY/dp/B07PDHYF9G/ref=sr_1_4?crid=G4ZHOQF9COEO&keywords=polaris+ranger+900+xp+battery&qid=1575313766&sprefix=battery+polaris+ranger+xp%2Caps%2C156&sr=8-4

[@austinhamby8699]

U still have the Ranger? Saw you bought can am maverick..

[@UTVDIRT]

I bought a new Ranger couple months back.

[@charlesschanel9894]

What size oil cap wrench is that? TIA

[@UTVDIRT]

I believe it is 65mm wrench for oil filter

[@lakeywilder7144]

Did you reset your setting on dash as far as next oil change it’s a wrench that flashes it’s set up for mileage like a car I think or could be hours

[@UTVDIRT]

Yes I set it to the next service interval.

[@lindengauthier4407]

Do you have to bring it into a dealership or can you reset it yourself?

[@lakeywilder7144]

Linden Gauthier you can do it yourself

[@lindengauthier4407]

Lakey Wilder what buttons do you press? If you dont mind explaining please

[@lakeywilder7144]

My best friend is a Polaris mechanic I will get him to explain it to me he does mine I will post it up this weekend

[@mossman381]

Polaris dropped the ball with placement of the oil filter on these 900/1000 Rangers. It's real fun removing the oil filter when the headers are warm.

[@UTVDIRT]

Yeah I agree it didn't make sense to me. It was a little warm in there when I was removing the oil filter.

[@raywatkins4835]

@@UTVDIRT Did oil leak out when you changed the filter? I had to put paper towels under it to catch the oil.

[@UTVDIRT]

@@raywatkins4835 Yeah a little bit. Just cleaned it up with some shop towels.

[@tylerh2634]

A little easier to remove the filter on a crew if you lift the rear seats and remove the storage bins. Filter is right there behind the rear seat. Maybe the same for a single cab?

[@stuchtenhagen]

Go under the seat

[@jerrychambers7267]

Spicy

[@Tubac3]

Where did the small washer go?

[@UTVDIRT]

That goes on your drain plug. The old ones sometimes crack or don't seal right so I just replace them plus it comes with the kit.

[@Rick-nk7pm]

If a filter looks close can I use it even if it is wrong part number?????

[@UTVDIRT]

I would check with the dealer to see if the parts numbers cross reference to each other and can be used.

[@Rick-nk7pm]

@@UTVDIRT what du u du

[@duanecarter3808]

I just subscribe to your channel. Are you going to do a chassis lube video on your Polaris Ranger?

[@UTVDIRT]

Thank you! Yes I plan on doing a lube and diff fluid change in the near future.

[@sportshot2350]

Who’s doors do you have on?

[@UTVDIRT]

They are called fortress doors.

[@brandondeckert9838]

The Wix XP filters better than the OEM for future reference.

[@rongray4587]

Explain why their better please.

[@brandondeckert9838]

@@rongray4587 watch a video comparison. The wix has way more filtering media and is much better constructed as well as being oftentimes less expensive.

[@Dooguy]

How the F do u get the bed pin n cable on. They make it almost impossible to reconnect Any tricks??? I'm ready to burn this turd down

[@UTVDIRT]

It's a pain in the you know what! It's best to have two people one for bringing the bed down and the other putting the pin in. Also used a small screwdriver to line the holes up for the pin. It takes a minute but you will eventually get it.

[@Dooguy]

@@UTVDIRT thanks....I live alone. It's a real bitch with the cable
