Thanks so much for taking the time to create this video. I've been putting off changing my oil and now I feel confident I can do it. Very much appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the video. Just got a 570 yesterday, my first ATV. That release of the oil filter, is there anything that can be done, to not let it spill all over the skid plate, when it's removed? ...you can see at the end of your video, when you're putting the drain plug back in, that the oil is now just dripping steadily from the skid plate, and that filter removal, which is not something I want all over my garage floor!
Could also put and old towel u are gonna throw away down between the filter and skid to soak up mist of the oil, that's what Ibdo with my 570. Usually takes care of most of it
@@mudslinger704 my goodness just changed my oil and wth were they thinking putting that filter there. O barehanded it off but I think the cussing loosened it more than anything.
Nice video. Does your sportsman still work? or does it have any problems with it? or has it had any problems? I want to get a sportsman 450 and most people say that they are great but some say they get problems. if anyone else has/had a sportsman 450 i would like to also hear from you too. Thanks
I have chosen to go with a Polaris sportsman but i don't know which one to go with i can go with the 450 or the 570 but the 570 is an extra $500 AU and I think 401 US which one would you go with? they both come with a 3 year warranty I think. and I will save $2500 AU or $2007 US if we get it in the next 20 or so days
I do have a question. I also have a 2016 Polaris sportsman 450. Why did you use the dipstick hole instead of the oil fill under the seat near the air intake?
You have been waaaaayyy more informative than the Polaris Manual or their video on changing the oil. Thank you!!
Thanks for watching!

You're welcome!
Hey, great video. I just bought a used 2016 sportsman in the same color. The power steering isnt working, have you had any issues with yours?
Mine does not have it

You can try to route the spillage with some tinfoil.

Or maybe don’t change the oil in the garage? 🤔
Bring it outside and do it!
Great video. Why the heck do they hide the common upkeep stuff?
Yes, why!?
Because they charge a ton of money to do it for you. For the dealer to do the oil, front diff and reae diff/transmission they wanted over $300.00!!!
Yea, they said ~100 to change oil alone here. Not impressed.

How is the power on the 450? Any clutch mods done when you put those tires? Haven't driven their 400 class ATV since the early 2000 lol
the powers great,stock clutching still does great with these tires.
Erik Desormiers its actually a 500 cc
Cool video thanks. Nice tires. What kind of tires are those?
Thank you, they are Kenda bearclaw htr's!
@@mudslinger704 thank you
FrewSlinger are those tires on stock rims?
@@kimbej2 yes
FrewSlinger wow, they look awesome for only being 1” bigger than stock!
Good video, what size tires are u running 👍🏻🇺🇸
Thank you, they are 26 inch.

I have yet to have issues, but only have 350 km on it.
FrewSlinger would you recommend the sportsman 450 for fun and a farm bike? or the suzuki kingQuad 300?
+Bearie Hare either would do fine.

+Bearie Hare spend the extra on the 570. You won't regret it.
I have a 2017 sportsman 450. Are the rear end and trans fluid together? is there only one drain and fill for both?
Syclz yes it's one drain. One fill
I do have a question. I also have a 2016 Polaris sportsman 450. Why did you use the dipstick hole instead of the oil fill under the seat near the air intake?
Easier to fill at the dipstick. No difference.
Wait- what’s the oil cap below the stealing column under the seat for?
You can fill it there too.
What tires are those on that 450?
Bear Claw Htr
@@mudslinger704 they look impressive
@@kevinsteinke2603 they are a great tire.
What front bumper is that?
For a 2013 500 sportsman, bolts directly on.
what socket or wrench for the drain plug?
0:15
@@mudslinger704 thank you
How has the 450 been? Any updates for us?
No issues to date, but only been able to put 600km on it, lifes been busy.
FrewSlinger Thanks. Im strongly considering getting a new 450HO EPS next year.
Thanks for sharing this video. 👍
You're welcome!
