What are all the weights for each part?


Engine
Transmission
Differentials


And how much (volume) for each?


Just curious.

Depends on which one I'm working on, the song I'm playing and the mood I'm in......

For example..... When I'm working on the engine I like rock and roll with about half volume.... roflmao.

Ok.... I'll stop......

I usually have it crancked to "11" that way, nobody hears me swearing while I try and find the eight different wrenches for the eight different drain/fill plugs.

Please try and stay away from the fram filters.
A lot of people are having trouble with the central hillard front diff. I would keep with Polaris for the front end.

Yeah...Fram ain't what it used to be.

When was the last time you even saw a Fram oil filter commercial? I think they were bought out, a few years ago....

I just replaced all mine (most of it black :( ) with Jack today.


Jack had a cool (of course Jack had a cool gizmo) tube with a fill point. Just had to put the tube in...and pour the oil in the top....no spillage.

We used a measuring cup to measure each accurately.

Front: 5 oz
Rear: 5 oz
Trany: 13.5
Engine: 2QT (easy)


I do have to say...I can't BELIEVE how poorly designed the Polaris Oils are....


Bottle: 8 oz. Required: 5 oz. Left over: 3oz. WHY?!?!?!? WTF....This ain't a Hot Dog bun maker trying to sell more buns.

Note to Polaris: Make the bottle 5 oz or 10 oz....losers.
