I have to admit I’m guilty of neglecting my Polaris for sometime.
I decided to change the oil in it and everything went fine until I had to get the oil plug/gauge out. It was stuck really tight and in the process of getting it loose I broke the thumb tab thing off the cap, I managed to get the plug out with a small pipe wrench but I had to put it back in the same way I got it out. I don’t know why it was so difficult to thread back in, I didn’t cross thread it. It almost seems like the threads in the aluminum are corroded or gunked up or something.
I looked around for a new one and the plug/gauge is obsolete, the obsolete P/N is 3087064 . I did some searching around and found were someone used a plug/gauge from a 2001 325 Trail Boss I think and that P/N is 3087128.
I suppose I should just order one and try it, they aren’t very expensive but I thought I would ask the guys on this Polaris forum if they know if it would work.
Thanks (sorry about the length of this post)
