You’ll want to change a few key fluids in your snowmobile to keep it running strong: engine oil (if it’s a 4-stroke), chaincase oil, and coolant. For 2-stroke sleds, you’ll also be topping off the 2-stroke oil reservoir regularly—though that doesn’t need "changing" like engine oil.
- 4-stroke oil: Swap it out every season or 1,000 miles—whichever comes first.
- Chaincase oil: This one’s critical—change it yearly to keep the gears and chain in good shape.
- Coolant: About every 2-3 seasons is usually fine, but if you’re pushing your sled hard, you might want to check it sooner.
When I first started working on my sleds, I was clueless about what to change and when. A repair manual saved me so much time and guesswork. It breaks everything down step-by-step for your specific sled, so you’re not scratching your head halfway through the job. If you don’t have one yet, trust me—it’s worth it!
