Looking for some insight. Anyone have an opinion on which of these are better or do you use either and why. Looking for gear oil for front diff./ rear final drive replacement on my 2015 outlander l dps 450. Thanks in advance.

I just got back from a week in northern Michigan with my 330 Trail Boss running the trails on a 300 acre Lodge. It was a family reunion / my wife and my 50th wedding anniversary with 32 family members. My gran-daughters boyfriend brought a 850 Sportsman. With exception of the straight a ways the 850cc's are not necessary, but when I had opportunity to drive it it was a big "Oh WOW". The refinements of the newer quad, independent suspension, sway bar, power steering and fuel injection sure makes it a different ride. But reality set in, I have $1300 invested including new rear brakes, new front tires and all lubes and filters changed compared to the 850 crowding $10k I'm well satisfied with my 330.

Almost a year has gone by owning a 2017 450 Sportsman time for fluid check and changes.
I have a Polaris HD 2500lb Polaris Winch installed. Is it possible to check and change the front drive fluid without removing winch?

Back in the 2005 or 2006 era I bought a used Sportsman 500HO. The plastics were cheap and broke and I hated the engine braking in loose steep stuff and I was not a fan of 1 brake lever and all brakes applied simultaneously. I sold it for what I paid for it and bought a new Kingquad 750 EPS. I loved the big zook. My wife had a KQ400 athe time too. We are in our mid 60s and my wife decided she no longer had the stamina to ride her own quad and we sold them both and bought a Yamaha Wolverine EPS side by side. My wife is now no longer going out at all and I miss riding the ATV, plus an ATV is much more maneuverable for snow plowing. I have sold my Wolvie and my local dealer now carries Polaris in addition to Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki, and Honda. Because we are in a relatively small town, the dealer sells far more UTVs than ATVs. I looked at the Grizzly, King Quads, and I sat on a new Polaris Sportsman 570 SP. I haven't ridden them yet, but the ergos, color, suspension, and storage on the SP are really appealing to me. I have long legs and I ride with a prosthetic left leg so the ergos are perhaps the most important part to me. Coming up in 3 weeks I will be going on an annual ride that I promote. It is 220 miles from my door to my door. We do it in one day and we are coming home in the dark. Fuel range is important, but I carry 4g of gas in a Rotopak. I might need supplemental lighting. Are the new Sportsman better than the early ones. My dealer doesn't have a King 750, but he does have a KingQuad 500 EPS and he has the 570 SP.
What are the voices of experience thinking here? I will test ride Tuesday.

Alright guys I'm new to this forum and fairly new to can am my issue is that my bike was running perfectly before I put stage 2 griffin cams in it after I put everything back together and fired it up it's miss firing on the back piston so ok I figured I had to have the timing off and I actually did so I put it back in time and still had the same issue so I tore it down agian to see maybe I didn't do it right but it was dead on so I figured it had to be my dobeck tuner I bought a PC5 for it and still same issue took programmer off and a code came up saying my TPS was bad so finally got the new one here and still nothing my computer is showing once hooked to the PC5 that it is still not reading my TPS so I'm stumped lol any help would be greatly appreciated
