2008 Polaris 500 EFI Oil Change ???

[zman57]

I hate the thoughts of sounding stupid; however I am new to ATVs and I am trying to work my way through changing the oil in my 500 sporstaman EFI. I am not new to mechanics but this is really frustrating me!!

Where is the crankcase plug at ? The owners manual tells me to drain the crankcase while doing the oil change, does anyone have a pic of it?

Priming the oil pump after I change the oil. The oil kit that I purchased from the dealer does not say anything about priming the pump, but the owners manual does, since I removed the lower hose to clean the screen I am assuming that I need to prime the system.

I cannot find the pressure relief slit as shown in the owners manual on the upper hose. How do you know when the pump is primed ???

Your help and advice will be appreciated on this
Thanks Zman

i drain my tank and case then put new oil in and go, no need to prime pump. the drain is on the right side of the motor under the pull rope housing on the side not bottom

Thanks Kid, I just came back in from the garage and I just found it, and you confirmed it for me.

I appreciate the response!!!
