Polaris Ranger 800 Oil Change

To change oil on the Polaris Ranger 800 it requires only a hand full of tools.  The process is very easy and it will take more time sourcing the oil filter and oil than actually doing the oil change.  I'll describe exactly how to do this...

Before getting started make sure to have the following supplies and tools on hand.
- 6mm Allen wrench
- drain pan
- oil filter
- 2 qts oil or 1.9 liters
- oil filter

After warming the engine up remove the 6mm allen head drain plug as shown in the video.  In the video we ran into a problem, the oil had lots of moisture in it.  After the foamy oil drained out we got scattered and forgot to show the oil filter removal location. If you're does not look contaminated you can now remove the spin on filter located in the front of the engine, accessible on the driver side, in front of the rear tire.  Once all the oil has drained reinstall the 6mm drain plug and oil filter.  You may want to lube the o-ring on the oil filter prior to install.  Once the oil filter is installed, fill the engine with 2 quarts of oil, let it settle, check the dipstick and you're ready to ride!  I've included some options below for gathering whats needed for the Ranger 800 oil change.
