With your outboard lower leg oil change it is common to re-fill them with a pump from the lower drain plug until it comes out the top plug hole as they will airlock if you try to fill from the top fill hole.

Well explained video. This looks easier than changing the engine oil filter. Gonna give this a go

Thanks ! Great video to avoid taking off the plastic/foot well while changing the transmission oil.

Nice job. Most of people would not think of that. I built a platform base from 2x6 3 inches high. Use 2 sets of truck Ramps. I use a floor jack to lift the quad up enough to slide everything in place under the wheels. I can then use a Creeper under the quad. Makes access mush easier for maintenance. This set up works well for me and much easier on the back and knees. Lol

I’ve got 662hrs and 8958mi on mine and never changed mine out (besides my gearboxes and motor) after seeing this video I am now more than expecting to see copious metal shavings 😭 it’s been driving like a champ with all those miles

Appreciate the info. I’m going to change mine in the spring, I only have 8hrs on it.

I just did the first service on our 2024 and i was shocked at how over full the transmission was.

I just popped a 3/4 hole in the lower side cover to get a socket in

What size is the transmission drain plug ?

I found that after about 4 or 5 oil changes the wear seems to really have reduced to negligible levels - oil comes out clean after 1000-1200km. Same with the rear diff. It seems they take awhile to "break in" but definitely better now.

they are all pretty much the same setup correct? Ive got a 2019 570 max x t this has been a big help

You video was awesome, and i subscribed

Hey Mike. Is that machine a wet sump or dry sump?

[bryanlawhon]

Any idea of where to buy the trans fill plug? Striped mine out

[PA_Wilds_Coyote]

Hey Mike. Does your machine have a dry sump or wet sump for the oil

[markkillingsworth]

That's pretty cool, I hope my 2021 450 can be acsesed the same way.

[terrymyers]

Do you know how often it should be changed, when I bought mine used it didn’t have a manual?

[christopherlittle]

Im leaking fluid right beside the fill hole where the driveshaft goes into the gearbox reckon what that could be?
