96 Xplorer 300

[cdakers]

I just picked up a 96 Xplorer 300, in pretty rough condition. I'm going to order a manual, but in the meantime can anyone provide information on the fluid specs for this unit? Types and capacities would be greatly helpfull. Also, any thing in particular to keep an eye on?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Thanks for the welcome. I've found the manual for a 98 xplorer on the polaris website, and it specifies Polaris Premium Synthetic chain case lube for the transmission lubrication. Does anyone have a recommendation for an alternative to the polaris lube? Nearest Polaris dealer is a 2 hour drive, and I would like to get this changed out today so I can do a shakedown run to see how everything is working. Planning on a 3 day riding trip out of town for the Labor Day weekend, and would like to get this machine ready to go asap, as I have four other quads to get ready for the trip also.

Thanks for any input you can provide on the transmission lube, or anything else!
