Thanks for the video. You are one of the few that discuss priming the system at the end. that was what I was after.
your welcome! i try to cover everything as best i can
Thanks this was way helpful I just got one of these and doing my first oil change.
+Justin Coe thank you!
Hi if you have already put new oil into your atv can you still change the oil filter and drain the crank case. Thank you
I have a sportsman as well
no problem i will post one in the morning! currently 11:30pm.
Thanks for the video
Would this be a similar process for my bike I have a 1999 sportsman 500
Yes
You did a good job. Just got a 2001 polaris sportsman 400 and I can't find the oil stick.
Awesome video I soon might purchase this machine for plowing my driveway up here in PA we have been getting lots of snow and I hate shoveling my driveway out I just wanna learn the basic stuff this atv has and if I have to do I know how to I just have to sell my 2008 Yamaha Raptor 250 and I will soon get one.
thanks, much appreciated! i have a plow for mine and it is great.
mudslinger704 Yeah that's why I need one I have a riding mower that I can get a plow for and chains but it's a 10 year old Husqvarna riding mower with 2,000 hours on it so I don't wanna put stress on the engine anymore and break that mower I already had to get that mower fixed 3 times over the summer to get the deck repaired
good video, can you make one to show the spark plug? i cant seem to locate it
there is one on line on how to change your plug.on a polaris sportsman it's on top of cylinder.pull off the red cap and it's down in the hole. it's five eighths.but a socket won't be long enough. I grinder the screw driver part off an old 2 sided chainsaw plug wrench and it was 5/8 on one side and 13/16 on the other.I put the 5/8 down over the plug and loosened it at the top with a 13/16 wrench.you should have a kit at the back of the machine in a compartment.hope that helps.my kit got stolen
Under gas tank top end of engine. Only one plug.
thanks man
thank you! and thanks for watching.
How do you know which type of oil is needed in a four wheeler??
Owners manual.
Or google search. I just bought a 2005 500 H.O. And to my surprise... the previous owner lost the manual! And it’s only a 16 year old machine. Pretty irresponsible of the guy.
what tude is that conncented by the crankcase oil bolt??
its a weap hole. if coolant comes out the waterpump has gone bad.
THIS SHOULD HELP EVERYONE = just so everyone knows and to make it easier for everyone thats not sure about which oil goes where and all these oil names and types. so if you have a 2 or 4 stroke atv the tranny oil and both the front/rear differential gears are all the same oil lubrication. since the tranny is part of your gears and its all connected you simply use the same oil. so anything called gear oil or tranny oil are all the same kind of oil, you just need to know which weight to use on your model atv/utv/dirtbike. if you have a 2 stroke this means you mix gas and 2 stroke engine oil and you dont have a oil dip stick or a oil filter. if you have a 4 stroke motor you run straight gas and you simply buy regular 4 stroke oil at your local autozone, advance auto and so on and you simply change your oil every 50 to 100 hours or 300 to 600 miles depending on how much you ride and where you ride. so transmission fluid and gear oil are the same kind of oil rather you have a 2 or 4 stroke motor. forget all these fancy names that say you have to buy all these different oils = gear oil and tranny oil are the same. i even use gear oil and tranny oil for my hub oil since hub oil is extremely lean and not thick you are able to cover all 3 of these fluids by using the same tranny oil/gear oil...some buy hub oil while others use tranny/gear oil. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON BUYING NAME BRAND OILS EVER! YOUR LOCAL STORES HAVE EVERYTHING YOU NEED! HOPE THIS HELPS
Which line do you clamp to prime the oil pump? Is it the one that is connected to the bolt with metal screen or is it the oil line coming from the top of the oil resevoir
it's a vent line on top of the oil reservoir, watch 10:33.
Nicely done!
Here's a PDF of the oil change from Polaris too if you guys need help with quantities, torque specs, etc.

/pol/ is always right sddr
is it alright to run 0w-40 in a 500cc Polaris. I have been using 10w-40. Thanks
yes it is. you can also run a 5w50.
I run thinner oil in the winter.but I live in Canada and I don't have a garage so we are talking 30 degrees F in summer and -30 f in the winter.I warm my 500 up very slowly in the winter.I have a new one and a carbureted 500 I bought new in 06? I think.it was the first year u had the option of carb or e.f.i. and it still runs awsome.
is the 5w50 oil...can I use that year round?
yes, Polaris updated the oil viscosity to 5w50. and it is a good viscosity for all year round temps.
would this be the same to do to a 2013 sportsman ho
+84 GMC if it's the 500, it's the exact same yes.
+mudslinger704 What size of wrench or socket did you use?
14mm for both plugs.
Thanks
you're welcome
