Default ADC Fluid

Just wondering how much ADC fluid is required to change out old oil. Doesnt say how much fluid is required in the owners manual. Any input would be appreciated.

I read the manual this am about the ADC fluid change process. Rarely do I think about dealers doing maintenance work on my rigs, but this looked like one of them. It just seems like a dealer thing, likely it's not as complicated as it looks at first glance.

This is what the Polaris ATV mechanic told me yesterday. Bleed the ADC fluid until the reservoir is almost empty. Fill it then bleed the other side and refill the reservoir. Do NOT let the fluid get below the reservoir bottom. If you get air into the ADC fluid it can sometimes be very difficult to bleed it out. Do not drain the ADC fluid. Just keep topping the reservoir until you feel it is clear/clean. The bottle of fluid should be enough for 4-5 changes according to the mechanic I spoke to.
Hope that helps.
