2 rear diff go to a kawasaki shop and ask for TDH oil
3 engine oil... well... every body as got a defferent opinion it depends on temperature you will be riding in.... ARCTIC CAT as a grate oil 0w40 extrerme all season full syn.

Prairie 700 diff and engine oil questions
Thanks to all the posts I have been able to change:
Oil filter - Purolator Pure One PL14610 little longer than stock length. Rated best oil filtration and design.
Rear diff - 1qt dealer oil made for the wet brakes
Engine - 2.5qts Mobil1 5W-30 sythetic
Front - not done yet since I dont have the right oil, but it will be 10W-40 regular oil.
Thanks everyone for the posts and steering me in the right direction. I will be buying the service manual but is $53.

Yes. This one is a little different with the wet brakes in the rear and the front has a special limited slip/locker with pull lever. My Wolverine took gear oil front and rear too.
