pim afraid to say that you don't. Go to Polaris and buy the pure Polaris fluids for your bike. You can use mobile1 or amsoil for the engine oil but the rest of the fluids are very specific.

I have heard of people using John Deere hillard fluid for the front but im not sure if it's cheaper. it will be the same fluid though.

You've spent this much on the machine, whats an extra 5 or 10 bucks for the proper fluid.

 

I second that.

 

The front diff needs Hillary fluid, the tranny needs chain case oil. No gear oil in either.

 

You probably can't get AMSOIL in Denmark. Too bad, as the AMSOIL Synthetic Chain Case lube is the best product for your rear diff/Trani. Stick with the PoPo stuff... for sure on the front diff.

 

The ONLY Polaris fluid you have to buy is the front diff fluid.

 

The tranny will do just as well or better with a good synthetic motor oil.

The first thing I do when I buy a new Polaris is drain all their fluids except the front diff and use my own.

I do this on mine and all of my customers. We never have the problems others have running Polaris crap.

 

Why not use the best instead of the Polaris crap? Sometimes the better stuff is even cheaper than Polaris fluids.

 

Polaris fluids in everything except engine oil which any quality sntheyic in the correct weight is acceptable.

 

I have lots of synthetic (Shell brand) chain case oil for my snowmobiles, thats what I use in the tranny.
