Yes the Clymer manuals list the old numbers 2871653 (front gearcase oil,80-90 GL5 is an equivalent oil) and 2871654 (demand drive hub fluid). These oils are still the same as the new numbers and can be used if the dealer has a supply of the smaller 8 oz bottles. OPT

 

just asking Old Polaris Tech is there any substitute to the Polaris Demand Fluid? Just asking cause my nearest dealer is about 50 miles away also did anyone notice there is like no polaris dealers around? There is a ton more honda yamaha and stuff dealers?? Why is this?

If it was an older model with the awd in the hubs and not centralized awd as you have,I would say ATF in a pinch,close to the same viscosity,BUT dont put it in your gearcase. Dont substitute any oil for Demand drive fluid for the later models. OPT

 

Sooooo, I CAN USE the 2871654 (demand drive fluid) and 2876160 (angle drive fluid) instead of the "newer" PN's (2876251 & 2871653) listed in my manual? Thanks!

 

If need be a good quality synthetic 5w-20 motor oil works fine. I have used it with zero problems BUT only if I can't get the real thing.
