I am doing some maintainance on my buddies 03.5 Sportsman 600. I have done alot of work on the old models, but this is my first time working on the new ones.
I just wanted to see if someone could tell me what type of oil goes in the front and rear transfre cases. I am assuming they are both 80w-90, but I wanted to check because on the old ones, the rear took polaris tranny oil.
Also, From what I can tell, there are only 3 grease zerks on these new machines right? one on each front hub, and one on the driveshaft yoke below the motor.

Thanks!

sorry, I didn't mean 03.5, it is newer than that, 04.5 or whenever they had the half model year.

Anyways, all I need is for someone to tell me what goes in the front transfer case. I know the rear is 80w-90, but I think the front looks thinner. Or is that also 80w-90?

 

Do NOT use 80-90 gear oil in the front. The oil that is used is much thinner and is made to work in a magnetic environment due to the coil inside. I would suggest there using only the recommended Polaris front hub oil

 

use only polaris hub oil anything else will cause you problems.

 

Amsoil has a direct replacement but it currently only available in 5 gallon pails. Not a real good way to by fluid when you only need 5 OZ.
