We just bought this Magnum 325 4x4 from an auction a few weeks ago. It was beside a fire and we got it for a good price in comparison to what they are selling for locally. We bought some used plastics for it from a camo Sportsman which we were probably going to do anyways since we weren't a big fan of the Captain America theme.
We're also going to do the maintenance on it. The maintenance is where I have the questions. I searched around for a service manual with no luck (for a free one). I found the Polaris fluid guide that is on here listing all of the fluids such as Demand, Angle and such. The problem with that chart is it doesn't have all of the fluids I need and one of the fluids on there isn't one I have (I don't remember seeing it on the shelf but I could be wrong). The fluids and maintenance items I bought are:
-2 quarts PS-4 Plus
-1 quart AGL Plus
-1 quart Angle Drive
-1 quart Demand Drive Plus
-oil filter
-fuel filter
-air filter
-spark plugs (1 for spare)
I was about to start draining the fluids and then I decided to quickly Google if there is anything special about fluid changes on Polaris. I'm glad I did. I found contradictory information so hopefully someone with a Magnum or someone that knows will help out.
*********************************
For the front hub fluid do I use Demand Drive??? The procedure I'm going to do is take off the 3 cover bolts and drain everything out. Then I'm going to fill the fluid up about half way and then let the excess drain out while holding the fill hole at the 4 or 8 O'clock position. Can somebody confirm this?
**************************************
Which fluid do I use for the front differential??? Procedure for this will be to drain and fill until it comes out of the fill hole. Can somebody confirm this? I found somewhere where it said to fill 1 5/8 from the top of the fill hole. Not too sure though.
*****************************************
For the engine oil going to use PS-4 plus. Drain, change filter and fill to proper mark.
*******************************************
For transmission fluid I'm going to use AGL Plus. Drain out the bottom and fill until fluid comes out of the fill hole? Can somebody confirm this?
*******************************************
For the rear differential which fluid do I use??? Drain and fill until it comes out of the fill hole? Can someone confirm this?
********************************
Besides the 3 filters is there anything else I missed or that should be done? The quad drives and runs great. Can't get 4x4 to engage but I'll solder up the wires at the controls to see if that is the problem.
I'm planning on changing out all of the fluids tomorrow morning so if someone knows the answers please reply to this thread. If there are any questions let me know.
