Thanks for posting this. I am not a mechanically inclined individual to say the least, but your video gave me the "Hey, I think I can do that!" attitude and I changed the oil on the Sportsman last night. Thank you for saving me some money at the stealership! Anything on how to rebuild the carb? lol. I think that might be my next attempt. Thanks again, great video!

All you have to do is pull the dip stick out from the reservoir and check and see what color it is...if it is dark...it is dirty and needs to be changed. The dipstick is located on the left side under the frong fender...yellow plug

Same question as TheLenny187? Did you have to prime the pump?
@johnmurray575510 жыл бұрын
Good video. Only thing is, you should have stood back and then slowly came in to the areas where the different drain plugs come out. Its difficult to see where your working or where the drain plugs are located. Would hate to drain the wrong fluid and add the wrong fluid ie, gear lube in transmission .

Any tips on how to get the oil screen bolt on the back of the oil pan off? I have a 2002 sportsman 6x6 I am lacking any kind of power tool, only have wrenches and that sucker is on tight! is it a reverse thread? I have a torch... is it safe to heat an aluminum oil pan? its kind of close to fuel lines. help!!! I'm soo frustrated! I cant get the stupid thing to budge. all I want to do is clean the thing off because I bought this thing used and I doubt that its been done before.

Hello, I'm not very familiar with oil changes so I'm sorry if this sounds like a stupid question. But is draining the crank case necessary? If so, when you fill the quad back up with engine oil it fills the crank case as well? I'm a little bit confused...
@henryaufiero41768 жыл бұрын
Okay thank you for the quick response! If i drain the crank case it does not need to be primed or anything? I know running something like that dry for any amount of time is not good... Thanks again
@shoechew8 жыл бұрын
A Harley mechanic once told me not to remove the steel plug every time because it wears on the aluminum threads. He said not enough oil in there to risk damaging threads. I guess same reasoning applies to the Polaris.
