I did the final drive and diff fluid as well. Neither were difficult. Royal Purple 75w90.

Looks like both take less than 1/3 of a quart.  Did you just buy 1 qt jug for both the final drive and differential or did you end up having to buy 2 x 1qt jugs after draining both fluids?

For the Axis 500 it is, it says so in the owner's manual.  After the first 50 hours, it's then every 500 hours between oil changes and I plan to use full synthetic.

you wrote 50 MILES ....

 

not 50 hours ... BIG difference 

My bad, it's 50 miles or 10 hours, whichever comes first.

50 miles is not the break-in period.. My manual says burn 3 tanks of gas to break-in..

I picked up the Axis 750 quad cab a little under a year ago. Put about 40 hours on it.  Runs way better after break in adjustment and fluid changes, 20 hrs. Only issue was a $20 broken air/oil separator.  Helps to be handy with maintenance cause service centers are scarce around me.  If you purchase, inspect everything before you drive off. Others have had bad experiences in my area. I'm completely satisfied with mine. It will go anywhere.

I'm due for my break-in service with just over 50 miles on my Axis 500.  Which fluid changes did you perform (in addition to the engine oil and filter change)?  Local UTV shop is telling me that all of the fluid needs to be changed, from the final drive fluid to the differential fluid.  The owner's manual just talks about doing the oil change and filter change after the initial break-in period.

I was reading through the owner's manual that the initial break-in service was 50 miles.  Besides an Engine Oil and Oil Filter change, are any other other fluids (final drive, differential) scheduled for replacement for this initial break-in service?  Anyone got any maintenance schedules on how often to change the oil and fluids?
