That's good news for yout then .. just be sure to ride responsibly while on the streets and don't give anyone cause to call and complain ...

I have noticed it's going to be messy when removing that filter. I do have a wrench that fits. I cut out the top half of a plastic oil bottle, leaving the neck and cap to keep from making a mess like that on my m/c. It works quite well. I just slide the bottle under the filter, loosen it and spin it off. The spillage is caught in the bottle and no mess. Last time I didn't spill a drop! Not sure what it will take for the Polaris, but I believe I can come up with something.

 

Well, the deed is done. When I came home from fishing this afternoon I checked and it had 20.2 hrs, so, I proceeded to change the oil and filter. Everything is easy to get to. I cut the bottom out of a 20 oz water bottle and slid it over the filter after loosening it some with the wrench. I did fold some paper towels and lay under the filter, and some oil did drip onto them, but not much. No mess to speak of. I do appreciate the help of all who responded to my post.

 

If I want to replace the plastic oil tank on my '06 450 with a metal tank what do I need to look for?
