P1000 Differential Oil Change Front & Rear - Honda Pioneer 1000

Thank you!

Add several ounces to compensate for what you will inevitably spill when trying to fill them. I wasted quite a bit. The ring gear is very close to the fill hole and it's hard to get a hose or funnel in there. A small hose and going really slow could prevent waste.

What is the capacity of the front and rear diffs combined?

One 32 oz bag of Amsoil Severe Gear for both in my Deluxe. LE models take more.

Robot or human?

I second this motion. PITA to fill the drives, both front and rear.. Go slow to go faster. Use small tube that will flow to avoid oil bouncing off the gear and back out the fill port . . . and onto the skids to make a mess.

Not sure about the weight but it says GL-5 on that bag and the Talon manual specs GL-5.

Lots of guys going with 75/140. This isn’t that thick then.

We fill diffs with these.

200cc Fluid Syringe, can be bought numerous places and Amazon.

I've been contemplating one for sub trans fill on Talons as well.

As far as what to run in there. I've seen old 300 atvs with nothing but mud and water in the diffs and the ring/pinion still weren't missing teeth. Differentials usually fail when a bearing goes bad and even then you couldn't tell until the diff gets taken apart.

As long as you've got some type of gear oil in there and it gets changed every once in awhile it'll be OK. If you run it deep water then check the oil frequently. Water intrusion is the killer.

Don't pay good money for it from Mac Tools like I did. They can had for as cheap as $11.

I used 75w140 valvoline synthetic in the rear this time. It’s amazing how much quieter the rear diff is with heavier oil!

I will add.... I already knew it would, bc my 700 and 500 were the same way after I switched to the 140... But, after I blew out a rear seal on the p500 diff when I installed bellows, it sucked in sand and water and ruined the diff... Sounded kind of like a choo choo train after that! LoL...

I decided to put some Lucas stabilizer in and this setup made it easy to suck out a couple ounces of and refill. Didn't loose a drop.
Just a 100cc syringe and some poly tube.

I use the exact same thing, it's also used to suck the gas out of my pressure washer before winter storage.

[Floridahond]

did u use synthetic oil and when/how often should these be changed ?

I think the important thing is to use hypoid gear oil. Many of these examples are here are not hypoid
