ALL synthetic oils tolerate water contamination....the water emulsifies into the oil instead of separating as it would in dino oil. Another reason to use synthetics in ATVs. 3 Can Ams and I've always used Crappy Tire 75/140 and 75/90 with no issues. Gear case gets 75/140 as well BTW.

That is the question is there additives due to the viscoloc in front diff ? The fluid is a different color.

Good Afternoon
was just changing fluids on my 2013 XMR 1000. In my 2013 outlander shop manual front diff calls for 500ml of 75-90 GL-5 synthetic gear oil and manual calls for 300ml 75-140 GL-5 synthetic gear oil. Upon getting ready to drain rear diff i noticed some specs on the r-diff calling for 250ml of 75-90. Quad was purchased brand new from turple bros red deer and has original rear diff in it. I am confused as to why there is conflicting info. I was wondering if there was any other people that noticed the same.
Thanks Shawn
