Gearcase Oil

Gearcase Oil Change

The drain plug is located on the bottom

of the gearcase.
Polaris does not recommend tipping the

snowmobile onto it's side for service.

Any time the snowmobile is tipped onto

it's left side, always check the oil level

and clean the foam oil breather element.

See page 102.
1. Position the vehicle on a level sur-

face.

2. Remove the drain plug and drain the

oil into a drain pan. Allow the oil to

drain completely.

Tip: The sealing surfaces on the drain plug

and the gearcase should be clean and

free of burrs, nicks or scratches.

3. Reinstall the drain plug. Torque to

6-10 ft. lbs. (8-13 Nm).

4. Remove the dipstick.
5. Add 9 oz. (266 ml) of the recommended oil. Do not overfill.
6. Reinstall the dipstick, making sure it is seated properly.
