For no more than it uses, I've always just stuck with the Polaris brand. I have heard of some people using 30w motor oil and claiming no problems, but have not tried that myself so I can't say it's a fact.

Are you just draining and replacing the fluid? There's enough in one quart to do both quads.

I use full synthetic snowmobile chain case oil. Any brand thats around It has the same specs that a polaris tranny requires.

I would think motor oil would be a bit on the thin side to use in the tranny. Chain case oil is thicker,and there is a chain and grears in the Polaris tranny,like the in Polaris's sled trannies which use chain case oil.
