Can-am outlander rear diff oil capacity

Just wondering how much oil everyone in putting into there rear diffs on the Can-Am Outlanders? I have almost 7000 kms on mine and I have always filled both the front and the rear diffs up to the fill plug or 500 ml. Now I know the service manual says the front should have 500 ml and the rear should only have 250 ml. I have heard of guys saying that if you over fill the rear it will come out of the breather, well that has never happened to my 2007 Outty 500 Max XT.

Just wondering what everyone else is doing?

When I changed mine in the late fall, I put 250 in the rear. Didn't want to run into any problems with the breather or anything. Haven't really driven it since.

Hello, I remove the plastic "guard" from the left side and bend it around to the right and hook it to keep it out of the way. I then jack up the front of the atv and place a rag in front of the diff to keep the lube from coming forward. I remove the fill plug and the drain and let it drain. I like to flush the diff with brake clean or some product. Blow it out and drain. I lower the atv back down and use the preferred lube and fill from the upper inlet until it starts to flow out. The bellows on the diffs leak and will let contaminants into the diff. I went to lowes and purchased some clear tubing and mounted the factory bellows forward in the front compartment. Thanks for reading, it works for our seven CanAms.

Hi, I'm new here also. I'd stick with what the book says on oil level and type. They have their reasons and I well stick with them on this.

i agree with^^^^ theres not alot of room for expansion in there....i believe the level is 1" below the fill hole,rear fill only, and it`s kinda hard to measure but i put 18000 kms on my 07 800maxxt with no issues....i might add that i use 4x4 in limited amout and the rear fluid gets really gnarly while the front is usually clean and clear,but for the little bit of oil needed i change it out anyhows

I made a big mess the first time I changed the diff oil. So I got a 3'' long 1/8 npt nipple, its the right threads. Just switch it quick with the plug and no oil in the skid plate.
