What you'll need to change all Polaris Ranger GENERAL Fluids at the 25 Hour First Service Interval

So you're new General 1000 has just reached the 25 hour break-in service interval.  Polaris doesn't give these Ranger General's away so it's important to follow their recommendations when it comes to service.  Three fluids need to be changed on this initial service: engine oil, transmission or main gearcase and front differential or front gearcase.

It can sometimes be a challenge to get all the fluids and tools together and just finding the time to complete the service.  We just completed the process and I've listed everything you'll need in order to complete the 25 hour break-in service.  I'd suggest using the Polaris recommended fluids at least until the warranty expires as it may save you from footing the bill for repairs.
