Brush up on these quick facts and features about different UTV parts and accessories before choosing the one that’s right for you.
Just like with regular car maintenance, in order to keep your UTV’s engine in tip-top shape, you need to change the oil, fluids and filters regularly. Regular oil changes help maintain optimal engine performance, reduce heat buildup, and extend the engine's lifespan.
Engine Oil: Engine oil comes in a variety of different formulas. You'll need to choose the oil that meets your model’s manufacturer’s specifications and consider temperature range and intended use. Synthetic oils are more ideal for extreme conditions and can offer better performance than conventional oil.
Transmission Fluid: Transmission fluid creates smooth gear shifting. Depending on your model, it may require a certain type of transmission fluid, like automatic transmission fluid or gear oil. Check your manual to select the right fluid.
Differential Fluid: This fluid lubricates the gears and bearings in the differential, giving smooth power distribution to the wheels. Depending on your UTV's differential type (front, rear, or both), you'll need specific differential fluid. Regular replacement of differential fluid is essential to maintain proper lubrication and prevent component wear.
Filters: Your UTV has an oil, fuel and air filter. Oil filters remove contaminants from the engine oil, fuel filters prevent impurities from reaching the engine, and air filters trap dust and debris before they enter the engine. Make sure you choose the filter that’s right for you model.
