I just finished my 25 hour oil change on the 2018 utility 570. Love this machine for slow driving on rough trails in the woods, though I did have to put some extra resistance behind the throttle to control surging (Pic 1). I also opted for the 14-inch wide WhiteOut wheels and tires to increase floatation in wet areas.
The manual says there are three other checks to do at this time: front gearcase fluid, rear gearcase fluid, and transmission fluid. The front gearcase was no problem (Pic 2, front), nor was the rear gearcase (Pic 3, left side rear).
However, I am at a loss trying to find the transmission check and fill plugs on this machine that the manual says are on the right side of the machine (Pic 4). There is a red plug of sorts on the left side of the transmission (Pic 5), but I don't know what this is for. There is also a marked drain plug that presumably drains the rear gearcase. Does it also drain the tranny?
Most important, where is the transmission level check plug? - Thanks!
