If you go to a polaris dealer they will provide you with all their new fluids. The Newer models can't use the older fluids but the older models can use the newer fluids. I have a 99' 500 and changed out all the fluids with the new ones. I will have to research that the new gear fluid is. I haven't had a problem.

The ONLY fluids the new and older 500s do not share is the Hilliary fluids,the fluids for the front diff type AWD drive is not like the twin hub type AWD drive. Tranny fluid, engine oil, coolant still the same thing. Polaris makes a new 2w-50 oil for there twin cyclinder motors now,but there singles still and always have used 0w-40.

That goes from 1996-2004 from 2004.5 and on the front diff is the NEW engagement point of the front wheel drive system not the two front hubs any longer,so they use the Polaris AWD Hillary fluid not regular gear oil anymore in the diff.
