Polaris Sportsman 570 - Full 25 HR Service

[@G.I.JeffsWorkbench]

Nice, detailed explanation. Your specifying the size of the hex wrenches was a plus. Thanks for putting this together.

[@TimothyHughes-k4x]

Thanks Rudi. Very helpful video. Nicely done.

[@Ruxanik2]

I was planning on replacing every fluid on my polaris sportsman 570 trail 2023 thanks for great guide❤

[@Channelofdk]

Just did my first service at dealer, but next year I’m doing it. This was super helpful. I have the 450 but think all steps n stuff same.

[@curtisjordan7647]

Just a tip you should always make sure you can get your fill plug off before you drain the oil. Great video

[@Micheal153]

this is a good tip for old equipment brand new i wouldn't be to worried!

[@citadeldawg]

​@Micheal153 disagree. Break in fluid would be the most important. Want to ensure you get as much oil with metal particulates out as possible the first change.

[@mikesargent6989]

Just did the oil change on my 2021. 450. Polaris sells a filter wrench for $11 that makes removal a lot easier. Highly recommend getting one.

[@sigfussigurdsson1151]

Great maintenance Video, I got to do service on my Sportsman 570 thanks for posting.

[@bruushbuster50]

I always remove the fill pug first so it drains better and also your SOL if you drain the fluid and can’t get the fill plug out.

[@bobhawkey3783]

Thanks a lot! Not a cakewalk but not impossible with all your warnings and suggestions. Can't say I'm looking forward to it but worth the effort when you are far from a dealer.

[@markfroman738]

And probably save 300 bucks!

[@spluntery-_-4131]

Really helpful video! It's nice to have a visual aid when working on recently acquired machines.

[@michaelbedard5412]

Thank you for the Video. Very helpful. I wanted to share a useful trick I figured out with the Demand Drive Fluid fill plug. For some reason my plugs were 5/16 not 8 ml. I took a 5/16 allen wrench with the rounded end, cut off the bend and made a long bit out of it. Using a 5/16 socket and extension connected to my homemade bit, It was actually quite simple to get the plug out and back in. I will share a picture if I can figure out how to post it.

[@DJacobs-e8n]

Great video good job

[@TommyP-s9n]

Rocks look real comfortable on the back

[@myphosphene]

Great video! Very helpful. I think it was just easier to take the winch off to get to the front differential. I am impressed you were able to get it off without taking your winch off

[@biodot88]

Agree! Taking off winch now. Torx are on tight though

[@cmason5203]

Working on that rock must have been uncomfortable as hell! Good video

[@fistcover3831]

Very thorough video. Thanks for creating it!! I hope you consider doing a performance review on your sportsman in the near future.

[@nicholassciarra4827]

Good video. Nicely done and very helpful. Thank you sir

[@jamesblevins7115]

Sportsman 570 is a decent ATV some of the design and engineering things are a bit strange like on my 2015 and the battery location totally a bad design. Oil filter impossible to reach with hand due to coolant hoses all over it. I'm sure by 2021 they have redesigned these issues but they make you wonder about the people designing things. As for the engine my last one went 11,000 miles before I rebuilt it. I always use polaris lubricants. Bullitproof

[@schneid323]

Good video, appreciate the demo.

Either works. Whatever is easier.

[@809FILMS]

@@kata3901 definitely the top just take the seat off and bam big ole cap and opening

[@normangettys76]

My 2020 sportsman 570 has a actual oil cap in the valve cover, just pull the seat

[@manuelsalgado8510]

So the rear differential and transmission oil the same?

[@lmtada]

Change oil every ten hours. Four strokes like clean oil. Machine will last long time. It’s no Honda, however extra hp the small twin pushes, this will break oil down faster. MX machines are similar to formula one motors except singles. Change oil often, they will last.

[@Micheal153]

i put 10 hours on in less then two days of riding i dont think ill be doing it every 10 but i was thinking like every 25 - 50 hours deppening on how it looks

[@PeterSchaller]

We have 4 of these at work. They have all done around 300 hours and NOT once has the oil been changed. 😅 Engines still okay. Only the fuel pumps playing up due to blocked fuel filters.

[@mrxenosith8023]

hello, i just finished doing the service and noticed that the crush washer (you mention it at 6:19 time of your video), I forgot to install it. I did not realized that the previous one fell off during the flushing of fluids till i was relocating the old oil. is it ok to run the atv without it? is it a necessary component? where exactly did this go? was it during the filter replacement? does it go with the differential fluid drainage? thanks.

[@rudijones]

It goes on the oil drain plug. It creates a seal so no leaks. I guess if you didn’t install it and it’s not leaking it’s probably ok but just keep an eye on it. They include a new one with the oil change kit.

[@dave434]

I am thinking about buying one of these ,Your video has told me I can service it myself. Like you I would buy the Polaris oils & filters. How do you like the machine so far??

[@bloodruststaples]

I've got one, use it for ranch work and fun. It rips at WOT, and it grips great. Pretty heavy, but it'll get you to 60+ mph pretty quick! I'm not very nice to mine, and I'm on my third PM cycle, everything is holding up well. For the price, you get a real solid package 👍

[@dave434]

@@bloodruststaples Thanks for the reply , It has helped me decide to go ahead and order me a 570. I'll be lot nicer to mine.... Using mainly around the place here

[@bloodruststaples]

@@dave434 Be a good idea to stock up on periodic maintenance service supplies and maybe a couple spare things like a drive belt and wheel bearings if you plan to ride it when it's wet or lug stuff around. If you use it daily, those intervals will sneak up on you. Keep it maintained and it'll serve you well. Cheers ✌

[@dave434]

@@bloodruststaples I could see where that might be a good ideal on keeping few extra service supplies around for it. Cause You are right , The intervals can and do sneak up on you, Before You know it... Thanks for the Good Advice!

[@lowkeybaggers9905]

I dont get how you got the allen off the socket to tighten it with wrench i have the allen like that for wrench i had to pull it out rhe socket but how would you have pulled it out with it on the driver

[@ronhanish]

someone stripped my front diff. drain on a 550 i bought, so i drilled thru and used and easy out size 3\8 and swapped them , same size plugs. so i found a bolt that fits the hole i drilled and used Teflon tape on it and hammered it thru the hole for a temp fix. lol ... works so well i dont think i need a new plug lol. we will see.

[@noahc1884]

How did you get the dipstick out so easily, I was worried about ripping it out, is it supposed to twist or just yank it out?

[@rudijones]

The dipstick is threaded in. You have to turn it counterclockwise about 4 turns before you can lift it out.

[@floobertuber]

Boy do I wish those dipsticks were just O-ringed and able to be pulled out. It's a pain in the ass getting your hand into that tiny hole, and the damn thing never seems to want to thread back in, either. Very awful dipstick location and design.

[@shawnfields7929]

Did you flush the pump with anything between the front and rear diff fluid change?

[@rudijones]

No

[@jcdriver8500]

U can always use diesel to clean it out

[@rekkakuski2221]

Pro tip: Wash your atv before service

[@vrcustoms7]

Great rear storage :D Is it available on polaris? How many brackets do you need to buy :D

[@redbone9952]

Could I get a link to the pump

[@jasonmurray1812]

Approaching 25 hrs on my '22 sportsman 850. I have not put in 4wd at all. Do I need to change front dif fluid??

[@rudijones]

The front diff still spins even when in rear wheel only drive. There is no torque imposed on it from the transmission so there is much less wear. In reality, 25hrs is nothing crazy but keep in mind that some of the greatest amounts of metal particles and wear makes its way into the fluid when a diff., trans., engine, etc. is in its first hours of operation as it is wearing off machining imperfections and slight imperfections in mating surfaces so the initial fluid service interval is one of the most important in the whole life of the machine.

[@jasonmurray1812]

@@rudijones thank you. I will definitely change it

[@FOGELL_TheGreat]

I picked mine up on Friday and didn’t even put 4.5hrs And it went back to dealership on Monday cause it’s having a bad clutch issue

[@cppat1]

What did you issues with?

[@jamesblevins7115]

Good video

[@spluntery-_-4131]

Was it the clutch or the belt? My new 6x6 had the belt tear apart due to "operator error" after I got back from an atv trip and I was helping a friend split wood with it.

[@garretts91]

Why did they send you 2 quarts of AGL? Such a waste. Same with the demand fluid. They cant sell us a pint bottle? Jeez.

[@lxdesign1]

is that the EPS model?

[@rudijones]

No

[@lxdesign1]

@@rudijones ok thanks.. how do you like this model? Do you think that power steering would be a big improvement? I am thinking of getting the EPS model.

[@rudijones]

@@lxdesign1 I don’t find the lack of power steering to be a big deal. Don’t get me wrong power steering is awesome as it feels effortless when driving but I just didn’t feel that I needed it. I’ve never been in a situation where I felt like power steering would be needed. I use this on a farm and from time to time on twisty trails in the back, that’s where I notice it most.

[@lxdesign1]

@@rudijones thanks so much... the machine I get will be for trail riding, and off-season access at Haliburton Forest & Wildlife Reserve, in the off season, the trails can get sloppy. My current machine is the Yamaha Kodiak 400 - but the rear differential went out on it back in the fall 2020 - gears are all chewed up. I like the pulling power of the 570, as I have a large flat deck trailer that I can haul wood, or my snowmobile with.

[@floobertuber]

​@@lxdesign1 I used to run a '96 Magnum 425 (no EPS) to plow my driveway in winter. In 2017 I switched to a 2016 Sportsman 450 HO EPS. For low-speed, tight quarters, heavy work use -- like snow plowing! -- having EPS is the best thing since sliced bread. That said, I don't know if I would spend the extra money if I were just wide-open trail riding the thing. Twisty, hilly trails in the woods, or muddy stuff... then yeah, EPS would be a bonus... but on open fields, fire roads, and long railroad rights-of-way, not really needed. Also, from a maintenance perspective, having EPS does make working inside the heart of the frame harder still, and it's tight in there already. On mid-20-teens models, they stuck the damn starter battery down in there, very much hard to get to and blocking things. Of course, having the EPS unit down there too doesn't make it any easier.

[@tigrougrou2776]

Juste tip , wash them before make That..😢

[@antcri730]

the aftermarket stuff is probably better than the polaris brand. owners think it’s the best product when in reality it’s no different and no better than the lowest cost lubes you can get anywhere else at half the price.
