How to Change Polaris ATV Transmission Fluid & Differential Fluid | Partzilla.com

[@kingdomofheaven453]

A big thank you from France and all my gratitude for your great videos. I have many regrets for not being able to order the material from you because of the European rules on the transport of fluids. My heart is with you.

[@michaelmiller2833]

Awesome instructional video....thank you so much!! I have been looking for this type of video for my 2011 Polaris 850XP forever. Words can't describe how much I appreciate this video. Time for me to get to work changing my ATV fluids.

[@PartzillaParts]

Awesome, Michael! Glad we could help you get the job done. Happy wrenching and riding!

[@upthecreekyt]

These videos are so helpful! I'm about to purchase my first Polaris atv(used). Not only is this helping me to know what to look for before buying, but I'm learning about how to do the proper maintenance to it before taking it for its first ride. Thank you very much.

I wonder what the equivalent generic versions are of these fluids. Like 75w140 gear fluid front or rear, ATF for the transmission? I'm assuming there's no wet clutches so does the 5w50 oil have to be designed for motorcycles or could it be formulated more for a car?

[@SeanWMODonnell]

2007 sportsman 800 x2. The drain bolt is in the front of the front diff, by the left tire. Also, Polaris said, active decent fluid ADC, IS now demand drive fluid ADF. Its demand drive front, agl for trans, and angle drive fluid for the rear on mine. 3 fluids. 4 spots.

[@charlieboy1861]

John is the absolute best. I have watched a ton of his videos and they are all done the way they should be. THE RIGHT WAY HAHA. If you do what he says then you'll have a great running machine. Thanks John.

[@cr500blur]

What would we do without Partzilla videos? Thanks so much. Handy tip... when you are draining the transmission oil, you can use a half funnel or form-a-funnel to keep the oil from draining on to the forward skid plate and making another mess to clean up.

[@goshunknown9493]

I just bought a 2005 Sportsman 500 This video was extremely Helpful Thank you

[@danieleashoo4494]

Excellent Video and the information was excellent as a new ATV owner I had no idea different fluids went into different locations.

[@SaturdayNiteSpecial]

Thanks so much for doing this video. Makes the job for me easier!

[@buckdown1658]

Thank you for the video sir! Bought a 850 touring last year and wanting to change all 4 fluids you covered in your video. Perfect !

[@PartzillaParts]

You're very welcome, Buck! Glad we could help! How are you liking the 850?

[@jayp6664]

Thank you for the clarity on which lub. goes where. Very helpful!!!

[@johnnypare7426]

I got a 2006 Polaris sportsman 450 H.O. and this helped me so much

[@paulderkson9582]

followed your procedure and completed everything with no issues -thank you

[@my3sonsnh]

Great video. Simple and to the point. Very helpful to maintain my 2020 850 Trail.

[@anunentitledmotivatedmille7731]

5:48 a good tip from bleeding lots of furnaces. That valve can he turned a couple more times. It makes the bleed process faster. 7:30 tinfoil has always helped keep the fluids where I want them.

[@herrdrrev]

Great videos! Where do I get the pump to add the new fluids? Thanks.

[@jasonhazelwood9383]

Can you use the same pumper for all three of the fluids and not worry about them mixing slightly, like with what's left of the previous fluid in the tube? Great video bye the way. I'm sure this procedure is quite similar for the 2016 SP 850 model. Thanks.

[@PartzillaParts]

Yes, you can use the same pump, the slight residual won't have an effect.

[@mykol404]

This was the most informative video out there for this line of quads. I have a 2014 550 Sportsman due for a fluid change, and this tutorial was great. Thank you and look to do more business with you at Partzilla

[@PartzillaParts]

Thanks, Mykol! Glad the video helped you get the job done. Looking forward to seeing you on Partzilla.com. We have a full line of genuine parts for 7 different versions of the 2014 550 Sportsman: www.partzilla.com/parts/search/Polaris/ATV/2014/parts.html

[@bloodtrailsoldwoundsnewsca2502]

[@markyrocks69]

John you're a beast. Hope all is well, great video keep up the good work

[@davonnlakey2725]

You are such a BIG help I don’t know what I would do without you 😊,,, MUCH THANKS 🙏

[@NLINE7]

The front diff being low on gear oil, if for say owner of the Polaris never had done any maintenance. I'd say there was not enough gear oil put in at the factory when the bike was built. Even if you buy a atv new do not assume all fluids are correct capacity fill, check them first to be sure.

[@ryanxcr800]

Part of pdi at dealer is checking the fluids to make sure

[@pandjbeck]

appreciate all these how to videos it is a great help

[@PartzillaParts]

Thanks, Jim! Glad you're digging it. Sorry we missed your comment -- hoping to see you around the 'tube again!

[@rickvaz82]

Great video all I can say is thanks because it help me a lot, I just replace all the fluids to my 850 xp with the help of your videos👍

[@PartzillaParts]

Awesome, Ricardo! You're welcome! We love to hear updates like this. Glad you were able to get it done yourself; you can save lots of $$ that way... and it's fun once you know what you're doing.

[@Deerector]

What a great video. Thank you so much. Question unrelated...a lot of Sportsmans clunk when taking off fwd or reverse. It’s not coming from engine. Sounds like drivelineish possibly. Do you know what I’m talking about? Any idea how to go about addressing this issue?

[@PartzillaParts]

You can try to lower your idle speed a little and see if that helps. It's a common thing.

[@biggiekofi8367]

Thanks for the video. I was able to change the front deferential, the rear deferential and the transmission oil in my 2007 efl Polaris spokesman 700 twin

[@SpicyMcGeezak]

Do the front fluids apply to a 2012 sportsman as well? Specifically the active descent control fluid?

[@dansponseller4183]

I have a 09 sportsman 850 xp eps. When it gets below freezing my steering locks up. Does the eps have a fluid that needs changed. Sorry if this is a dumb question. This is my first atv.

[@markconstantino3719]

Please help me I have a 2017 Polaris ACE 570 and I have all the 3 fluids for the drive line system there are no videos for a drive line system change for the ACE 570 can I use this video for my ACE 570 drive line system change

[@eagleflight7501]

I am try to get the part #for the drain and the fill bolt gear-case for a 2012 Polaris 850 efi

[@Prince-xx2wo]

I'm looking on how to change all the oils on my polaris magnum 325 4x4 2002.. im not familiar with this machine at all dont know anything about it really so I'm not sure how many different oils there are.

[@johnbalogna803]

is the transmission fluid what also runs the read differential on a 2015 570 sportsman?? I can find info on oil, transmission and front Diff fluid changes but it seems like no one has ever done a video on the rear diff.

[@PartzillaParts]

Rear diff should use the Angle Drive Fluid.

[@johnbalogna803]

ok so its a separate and distinct set of drain and fill holes for the transmission and rear Diff. Correct?? I can find all sorts of videos for maint on the 2015 570 but no one seems to have a video for the rear diff fluid swap. I just feel more comfortable on the first attempt after viewing a video tutorial Thanks for the reply and great videos !!!

[@maurizioandrioletti7378]

​@@johnbalogna803 Ottima spiegazione sapresti cambiare anche olio della ADC..il mio e uno sportsman XP1000 2017..GRAZIE..peccato mai nessuna spiegazione in italiano....

[@danieltorres2044]

[@ronniebarnes9211]

Hi very helpful video! thank you for the step by step ! Just serviced my 2009 sportsman 850 XP Successfully thanks to your video ! I noticed a leak on the active decent control. I don't have a clue where to start hoping you could walk me through it. my first Polaris . Thanks again !

[@PartzillaParts]

Start by cleaning it down with brake cleaner. Then go for a ride, bring it back in the shop and see if you can spot where the leak originates.

[@stevealaska73]

Thank you for taking the time to make this very informative vid!

[@PartzillaParts]

You're welcome, Steva! We should thank YOU for taking the time to watch. Happy riding!

[@abrahems]

hey dear. thank you for your useful videos as i have read on Polaris Lubrication guide there is 32.oz (950 ml) of transmission fluid. but in this video i see that you added 37.Oz,so how much we should add??? thanks

[@jukeli78]

Greetings from Finland. You have best videos on youtube about ATV repairs. Thank you very much. I own -11 850 XP and i needed to install power commander on it, because in Finland Tractor registered ATV's speed limit is 40 Kmh. Now i dont have limiter on it. It goes full speed, but in Finland it's illegal. I wonder if this power commander5 is the answer to my problem... maybe you do video of installing it... sorry for my bad English. Thanks again your great videos!

[@PartzillaParts]

Hi Jukeli! Thanks for watching our videos and for the nice compliments. Glad we are able to help you work on your ATV way over on the other side of the Atlantic in Finland. We've added how to install a Power Commander 5 to our list of video suggestions. I'll shoot you a comment if we are able to get the video shot for you. All the best from The States!

[@ThoughtIwasFishin]

Thanks for posting your videos. They are very helpful. I have a small leak coming from my descent control mechanism. Where the axel goes in. I'm hoping it's just a seal. Do you happen to have a video explaining that? Thanks a lot!

[@ryansolomon5083]

On the front gear case that oil he refilled it with is that the same as SAE 80w-90 Gear oil??

[@PartzillaParts]

Demand drive fluid is essentially transmission fluid. The AGL fluid is the gear oil.

[@daveyats7254]

ok I have a 2010 Polaris Sportstman 850XP and I drained my front gear case and all I could get in it back filling it was 6 oz and then it started dripping out fill hole so I don't get it manual says 9>3 oz ?? any help be appreciated

[@bluebloodbs]

on my manual there are 2 oil for ADC and front gearbox. the ADC oil is nr. 2877281. i cant find at listing. can i use the gearbox oil? Thanks 4 your help.

[@tedh7543]

Thanks for the great instructional video. Wil this procedure and fluid type be the same on a 2014 Polaris Sportsman 550 EFI?

[@southcreekoutfitters]

Question, what lift are you using for UTV’s? Looking to add one to my garage here at home.

[@alainflores4075]

Thanks for the video! I'm assuming the same maintenance locations are in 2015 Sportsman 570? Also, can you give me the size of clear hose you used in 5:22 used in the bleeder valve, you mentioned it's .25 of an inch. Is that correct? To open the bleeder valve, does it need to be screwed off or pulled? also what tool did you use the scissor like? Thank you.

[@WilliamSmith-us3mv]

Do you have a video of replacing the rear drive shaft (prop shaft) by chance?

[@Bailey-y9b]

What lift are you using ?

[@mehrudinzilkic2628]

Hello How are you I look amazing videos nice work I have a question I have a 2018 Polaris 850Sportmen Green I just purchased three months ago and they ship it to overseas Evrope in Montenegro so I went there I enjoyed rides to the mountains but happens to times he was getting check engine overheat fan it was working everything fine so I like to know you and pinion Watch she can make a problem to get overheated air sensor thermostat oh thermostat sensor when I was going in the mountain it was 234f when I started overheating I was driving A passenger with me and I have a question also when you drive in the mountain what is the best to put Shift high or low Thank you very much

[@randyaustin3262]

I have a 2023 1000 Polaris sportsman Touring. Will it be the same as your video ?? Thanks for the help !! Also can I get oil kits to service drive line ?? Also do you have a phone number so I can call. Computer is not my game at all !!

[@maurizioandrioletti7378]

xcellent explanation would you know how to change also ADC oil .. mine and a sportsman XP1000 2017..GRAZIE..peccato never an explanation in Italian ....

[@miguelrocha2612]

How many bottles of oil do u need for each of them

[@tylercummings6438]

can you do a video on how to change the radiator fluid for this machine? Thanks.

[@PartzillaParts]

Good idea, Tyler. We'll add it to the suggestion list!

[@tylercummings6438]

Yep, thanks, I was going to change the fluid in mine but can't find a good video

[@tomchristensen2914]

How do you feel about flushing out the gearbox with a cleaner of some sort? I would do that before refilling. That would clear out any debris

[@PartzillaParts]

Shouldn't be necessary, if there is that kind of debris, you'll need to do a lot more than spray it. The debris should collect at the bottom. If anything, run some oil through to flush it.

[@rodneythornhill9526]

Where can I find those fluid pumps that you use?

[@PartzillaParts]

We just use a pump like this: www.partzilla.com/product/polaris/2870465 And then some 5/16 clear fuel line.

[@halal28]

I have a 99 Polaris 335 Sportsman, how many types of fluid does it have & locations.

[@garnetabel9947]

Exellent video and thanks for making them! Have you done a vid on changing the coolant? Not sure how to flush the coolant and how much coolant is required to do so. Thanks in advance.

[@PartzillaParts]

We don't have a video up yet, but we will add it to the suggestion list. The coolant capacity of the Sportsman 850 is 2 qts.

[@biggiekofi8367]

I have a question? During the transmission oil change, I notice part of my drain plug was shaved off and the was something that I can't see but can feel with my finger is hanging in there and am wondering what might that be. Any ideas?

[@TPA_JW]

What type of jack is that used in the beginning to keep the bike up when looking at the front diff?

[@PartzillaParts]

It's an old wide deck scissor lift jack. Very stable.

[@arthurfox2675]

Hi John, would this apply to changing the fluids in a 2003 Polaris 400 sportsman?

[@JuhaErkkila]

Thanks from your very informative video! One can always learn something by watching these! :)

[@PartzillaParts]

Thanks, Juha! Glad we were able to help

[@Chingo71209]

can you show how to do a proper coolent flush on polaris sportsman

[@PartzillaParts]

Great idea, Antonio. We'll add that to our list of video suggestions. Thanks for watching!

[@johnbalogna803]

great videos Thanks. I have a 2015 570 sportsman I'm assuming Id follow the same procedure for that Unit???

[@PartzillaParts]

Same procedure, though location of drains may be different.

[@johnbalogna803]

ok guess I better read the owners manual to be safe. Thanks for the great vids by the way.

[@ilikepie497]

I got a 2013 550 and the reservoir hose for the adc i guess cracked and the reservoir has no fluid in it now can i just replace the hose and gravity bleed it like u did?

[@PartzillaParts]

Yes, once the leak is fixed. Fill the reservoir and run through the bleed procedure. Just make sure there is always enough fluid so it doesn't let more air in the line as you go.

[@devindorman3555]

How often do you suggest changing the fluids and oil

[@n7hevn]

Awesome video! Could you advise, how much of the mechanical items handled on this Sportsman 850, relate to the Sportsman 570?

[@PartzillaParts]

Some are similar, some are completely different. You'll have to consult the service manual.

[@scottchristopher4503]

Great video guys. Question, my local polaris dealer said that I could use AGL in the rear gearbox. They said it is good for transmission and rear gearbox. I am wondering what you guys think about that.

[@SuperAirsoft19]

I just bought a 2016 Polaris sportsman 450 month ago and got up to the 10 hour mark. Is this all the maintenance I need to do?

[@PartzillaParts]

You also need to do an engine oil service. A large part of the first service is just going through the whole unit. Checking other fluid levels, rechecking the torque on bolts and making sure nothing come loose on your first adventure. It's an overall inspection and service.

[@denisesmallridge5823]

How do you change the active decent control fluid on 2018

[@rayjaramillo5832]

Thanks for your videos they have been very helpful

[@michael.filipenses4132]

How many quarts should i buy for the rear angle drive fluid

[@Schmjac8]

Just one should do it.

[@jasontucker1701]

I have a Polaris ACE 335 do I need the angle Drive fluid because I have the front and rear diff fluid

[@PartzillaParts]

Jason, Yes, you'll need the fluid. Ace 325 Transmission AGL (PN 2878068) (Quart) Capacity: 44 oz. (1300 ml) Capacity (International): 40.5 oz. (1200 ml)

[@snusmumriken6091]

How often should this be changed? What happens if its not changed?

[@odaat2001]

My Owners Manual says check fluid levels every 25 hrs on these gear boxes and change every 100 hrs. If boxes are not properly maintained, it could lead to premature failure.

[@snusmumriken6091]

Douglas Jarboe kzbin.info/www/bejne/maXTh3aNn8lrmJY should i avoid changing transmission fluid on the ATV??

[@travishague7423]

I have same exact bike do you sell a replacement tranny?

[@juliezowaski1367]

Do you happen to know where the intake and drains are for these fluids for the older Polaris. We have a 2001 Polaris Magnum 4x4. I found the amounts of fluid needed online but cant seem to find the fluid tanks. I'm just a mom trying to help out my son and save a little money. Would rather not have to pay someone to do this for us. The above video was awesome and totally made me feel like we could do it. - Thanks Julie

[@PartzillaParts]

We don't currently have a video for the Magnum. We will add it to the list. They don't have fluid tanks, they drain out of the differential and transmission. Just by text, it would be very difficult to get you to the right plugs.

[@juliezowaski1367]

Partzilla Thank you for your reply. We look forward to a video in the future.
