Great Video I never did the 25hr check until now. If I could go I probably would have waited to install winch and front bumper. Very tedious and time consuming but well worth the $250.00 charge at the dealers to change all fluids. Knowledge is Power!!!!!!

+John W it gets a little easier the more you do it, but yes it can be tedious!

FYI I was able to access fill hole by cocking the winch forward (right side) without disconnecting winch conections

Thanks man, helped a lot! I found you by the search for diff change and I’m from Freddy differently a new subscriber😂

You can remove the bolt without removing the winch. Remove the lower screw on the plastic face that's inline with the bolt. Peal the plastic back a bit and you can fit a 10" 1/4" extension to the bolt. Use a 1/4" to 3/8 adapter since the 8mm hex bolt is probably in 3/8 drive. There'll be plenty of play in the connections. You can also try a flexible extension. 3/8 extension won't work as there's a bracket in the way. The 1/4" extension is thin enough to get past the bracket and have an almost straight shot at the bolt.

My winch bracket is not the Polaris brand so it still may not work. I'll have to give that a try though! Thanks

How'd you fill it though? There's enough room to get a long neck funnel in there?

You can get to the fill plug from under the front and don’t have to remove the winch. As for the front bumper, it would depend on your front bumper.

Definitely helps “OWT” 😂.. just kidding… Great video

When would the next oil change be? And if it was not ridden very much, would it still need a change at a certain time.?

quick question is the rear diff a separate unit or does it get lubricated by the transmission fluids?? I can not find a video or any instructions on changing the fluids in the rear diff on a 2015 570 sportsman.

Hi John balogna. There is no rear differential. It's just a transmission/diff if you want to call it that. You just fill it and your go to go.

Hey Ryan. Just on amazon a few years back. I don't remember the brand but they are just cheap ones.

Demand drive fluid is for the front hubs only. The front diff uses angle drive fluid or a 75-90 gear oil.

This is the right oil for the front diff on the Sportsman 570.

When winch is in the road. Just drain from bottom plug, flip quad on it's side and re-fill differential oil in same bottom plug. Takes exactly 1 quart 75W-90 hub oil fluid. If you are doing it at the same time as an engine oil change, it's best to empty that engine oil first. Keep engine oil empty until you refill front differential and flip quad back upward. Makes it a 5 minute job. Then finish your engine oil change last.

The oil drain plug is under the diff. The plug at the front is to fill it up. Tip. Make sure you can open the fill plug before you drain it.

The rear is both the transmission and rear differential in one.

I think I would you relocate the fill port Maybe using tubing that’s threaded And malleable this way you wouldn’t have to takeoff the winch and everything else... just a thought...I can’t help myself as a machinist and fabricating retired

Only slight issue I could see is your supposed to fill till it seeps out of the hole so unless you make it clear you would have no way of ensuring it is filled properly. Unless you are 100% sure it is 350mm of fluid
