Hey, has anyone ever come up with an acceptable (cheaper) substite for polaris tranny oil?

yes, its spring again..... time to replace the fluids.

 

they told me that 10w30 engine oil will work for the gear case. i picked up the atv gearcase liquid or (agl) for $13 because i am an idiot.

 

I use 5-30 castrol syntec in the engine and tranny, my 425 has 6000 + miles and my 700 has 3600 never any problems and have used this oil since they were new.

 

I use snowmobile chaincase (full synthetic) oil. Shell brand right now.

 

No more than you need use the right stuff.It will make the chain in the tranny last longer.If you want the old non synthetic drop me a pm.

Thats way I use snowmobile chain case oil. The sled,s chain case has a chain,reverse,foward and low range so it that not what the ATVs tranny has also?

Plus the bottle states "For ATV Also". http://www.pecuniary.com/synth...vetrain/chaincase.html

Does not mention its weight though.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

 

I use Shell Rotella 5W40 synth in the Phoenix and Trailboss trannies. I'm sure any motor oil would be fine in the 5W40-10W40 range. Heck the Phoenix had 90 Weight when I got it. Drained out like molasses. Putting lighter oil didn't seem to make any perceptable difference. Snowmobile chaincase oil seems like another viable option. I know some use ATF in the trannies.........evidently its all good.

 

I use Mobil 1 ATF in my 95'. Does fine.
