pikeandchester Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 I have a 2005 Polaris Sportsman 600 twin. I changed the transmission, front and rear differential fluids. When I filled each, the level was below the fill hole. I followed the owners manual on type and amount of fluid (15 oz transmission, 5 oz front and 5 oz rear differetial) Should the fluid be filled to the bottom of the fill hole? Thank you for any responses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAMASafetyDirector Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Sometimes the difference between the reccomended amount and the fluid running out of the fill hole is only an oz or two. If you can, get some light in there and see just how far away the level is after adding the reccomended amount if it is still down quite a ways then I would add some. If it is really close to the threads on the fill then you should be good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JollyJoker Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I just fill them untill it runs out of the fill hole. Are the transmission and rear axel one unit on your 600? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pikeandchester Posted November 17, 2013 Author Share Posted November 17, 2013 Tranmission and rear axle are seperate units. I,ll take a closer look. It doesn't sound like adding a little extra will hurt anything. Thanx for the replies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
