Here's a nice cross reference chart. It's a few years old, so it's missing some models but from what I can tell, pretty much all Polaris ATVs use the filters in section 5. Use the longer ones if you have room as they have more filtering media. Also, it appears that Walmart (at least in my area) no longer carries the Super Tech filters and has replaced them with Purolator. Whatever you do, DO NOT USE FRAM FILTERS!

Maybe a stupid question but how often do you guys change your oil if using a good synthetic like amsoil? The manual for my 2008 Sportsman 500 HO says every 100 hrs, 620 miles, or 6 months whichever comes first. Well, the 6 months is nonsense but how often does everyone else do it if you don't hit the recommended mileage or hours in a year? My amsoil still looks new after 2 years and 600 miles.
I had the same machine as you 08 500 but mine was carb . I also used Amsoil and changed the oil every 1000 miles or about 3 to 4 times a year . I also changed the front and rear fluids at the same time . Buy Amsoil by the case and your save some money
