have used all but the Fram and STP on my sp700, clearance may be different on the Rangers...
Length may be a concern becuase the diameter is tight on my quad so i doubt its tighter on the rangers.

So to break this down in very simple terms, not just Amsoil products, but walking into your local NAPA, these fluids will work in place of Polaris branded (overpriced) fluids ?? (and please correct me if im wrong) the front diff takes a Mobil 424 fluid , the transfer case is good with a type F transmission fluid or mobil 424 fluid, and the rear diff is 75/90 gear oil.. and of course the engine oil is whatever 40 wt you like. Coolant is whatevers compatable with a aluminum tank ?
Im not instructing here fellas, ive been all over the net for a few hours gathering information, and to the best of my ability this is the most simple breakdown i can throw out there.. anyone care to concur ?
I cant see giving up $100.00 + for a 250 hour service kit.
and $30-$35+ bucks for 2 quarts of oil and a filter is just highway robbery.. no thanks
there's a few fresh juggs of Rotella T6 on the shelf waiting to go into my powersports equipment.. Ranger is on that list..

Well, i drained the rear end and filled it with Redline 75/90 Syn gear oil, after a quick drive i will use one word (Butter)

I was short on time so i just stopped at the dealer and picked up the front diff and the transmission/transfer case fluid $40.00 Complete ripoff in my opinion.. but im doing some serious trail rideing Saturday and simply didnt have time to source all the alternative fluids i needed.

UPDATE: took the Ranger to the ORV Park, rode all day in deep mud, water crossings, Sand dunes, you name it.. Ranger never skipped a beat.. awesome, glad i changed all the fluids before that trip.. I put Rotella T-6 5-40 Syn in the motor (forgot to mention that) I noticed that startup is alot smoother than with the "Polaris" bottled 2w50oil the engine fires and comes to a much smoother idle alot quicker. I noticed no ill effects on my all day trip using the Rotella in the motor. and theres two oil changes in a four quart jug for about $20.00 easy choice from here on out in my book. And the Purolator car oil filter in place of the $10.00 Polaris filter works just fine as well for about $3.50 a filter, its also a little bigger than a powersports oil filter (i like that) more filter media inside..

so using Rotella and a Purolator oil filter i can pull of a good oil change for less than $14.00 that beats the snot out of the Polaris oil change package...
