Arctic Cat How to Change Differential Oil

Get a Gear oil pump here amzn.to/2zbKmYz
This is a simple video on how to change differential oil in your ATV except this takes us on a twist of fate. A simple DIY differential oil change becomes quite concerning once I discover that the front differential in the Arctic Cat 650h1 is full of water and no gear oil. This is a problem as it will most likely needa rebuild in the future. The Arctic cat front differential is filled until gear oil comes out the small bolt hole which is the level indicator. The rear differential is 8oz or about a inch from the fill hole.

Thank you for taking time to do these videos. They help me tremendously and give me more confidence to do the jobs myself.
Thanks for this informative manual. I know next to nothing about engines and ATV. I baught my first 4 wheeler (arctic cat 500 4x4 automatic) I downloaded the service manual. this was perfect. Thanks!
Had the hardest time getting 17mm on the front diff. Try again tmrw, good video. Looks the same as my 2014 550
This was first video watched and I subscribed right away. Your video great, to the point, informative and made it look easy. I have atv for years never done work myself. I have a hard time trusting dealerships as I don't get to see what is being done. Your video will give me easy step by step to do myself. Ty
Wow that was a lot of water !!! Good job on the service. Thanks for the video brother.

yeah sure is all that water did some damage too
Oh brother, I just got a used 2015 700xt and I have a bad feeling I’ll find something like this! Thanks for the info, I’ll be referencing the video again in a few days.
Thank you for the video. I changed mine today and I think I stripped the drain the plug. Over tightened it. How can I fix or will a new drain plug fix it.
Great video. Thank you for sharing this. I have an 09 thundercat 1000. All of a sudden I have traction only on 1 wheel. There's a new axle and bearing. Don't know what could be wrong.
Love it "Shit ton of water", I clicked subscribe when you spoke your mind, Sir! Hard to find some who are not trying to hard to be a "Pro" or selling something!!!!!!! Thanks
Hay thank you I need to that to my 700 tbx after we get done sandbagging here on the ILLINOIS river 👍👍🇺🇸😊
Thanks for posting man! Much appreciated.
You helped out a lot thanks you did a grate video
You mentioned that the actuator got 'hooped.' Does that mean the actuator has a failsafe if the fluid is low or non existent that it won't engage? My 4wd was working fine until a few weeks ago. I watched your video on testing the circuit and followed it. At first there was intermittent voltage at the plug, but now nothing. There is power at the switch though. Any advice would be appreciated.
They couldn't put a fill check on both diffs...of course not, the amsoil fluid running fine in the diffs?
Can you use any 80-90 gear lube?
Jerry I have changed the diff oil three times and it looks just like yours coming out and I don't go in deep water ever. Mine has a spec of so many ounces and to me not enough but I went with it. I have not tried the amsoil before maybe I should.

+rstum28 how has it been treating you
well done vid thanks for sharing.
Dumb question, how do you know when you are an inch below the diff fill hole?
What if you fill it to the bottomnof the fill plug. What if you dont give an inch below ??
Wouldn’t brake clean eat away at rubber seals in the diff? I did that once and the seals blew
dont understand why the factory didnt install a overflow bolt on the back like they did on the front it would be easier to fill
Question… My rear differential seems to be leaking a little on one side from where the axle goes into it. It’s a brand new axle. Could it be a worn out or busted at the rear differential? Any pointers on how to fix that leak?
What Amsoil are you using in the rear diff??
thank you!
Ive bought three prowlers this summer. The front dif was leaking and bone dry in every one. Put some stop leak along with gear oil hoping it works.
Did you notice any difference in driving the unit while it had water in the diffs?

Shit thats scary. I've gotta check mine asap. dealer said they checked it but I've herd to many horror stories about units leaving the shop with low or unchecked diffs.

Thank you too much master
Dude, you never mentioned what diff oil to use?
If there is water in the diff, i would check the boots, replace all seals be cause you will have the same issue later on.

You can if you want
Think this maybe why my 4wheeler barely moves under its own power 😑 freak me might need a hole new rear ended
There’s no seal that will keep water out, they have to be changed regularly if you drive thru water 😊
👍👍👍😁
You should say the tool sizes
