How often should you change snowmobile Chaincase oil?
every year
For best snowmobile performance, change the chaincase oil every year. Over time, the oil level can drop or the oil can accumulate metal particles from the chain and gears, placing the sled at risk of failure. It’s best to change chaincase oil at the end of the season. That way your sled is ready to go in the fall.

Which is the best chain case oil to use?
I use polaris synthetic chain case oil or amsoil synthetic chain case oil. Lots of guys also run regular old ATF. All these oils are pretty close to 30 weight, so 80w-90 is was too heavy. Best bet, run whatever a polaris dealer tells you your sled should have, that way theres no question.
