So, I went to change the oil on my front drive gear case last night, and the Clymer manual for a 2000 Scrambler says that it takes 473cc or 16 o.z. of the synthetic gear case oil.

I measured out 16 oz, but it seems after 8oz it starts to come out the fill hole.

Can anyone comment here, how much oil goes in there, or an easier way to get the 16 oz in there?

Thanks....

I have a Clymer manual (96-03) as well for my Sportsman which has the same front diff as a scambler.

It says 96cc (3.25 U.S oz.) all years.

But who knows,the manual also said I had to remover the both clutch pulleys to remove the starter.LOL So it could be another misprint.

 

IMO there's no real need to measure out your oil , do as you did and fill it to the hole and reinstall the plug . Even the manuals say fill until the fluid comes out the whole and reinstall plug . I use a bottle pump and as soon as the fluid starts running out I cap and I'm done no need to make things more complicated than they are were not fueling the space shuttle

 

On the '99 Scramblers I had, was like 5 ounces of oil

 

i have a 2000 scrambler 500 in my clymer manual it says 473cc (16 us oz) for the transmission oil but says nothing for the the front gear case ofter then use polaris front gear case lube or 80 90 gear lube
