When is first maintenance ACTUALLY due?

[ChrisR]

Looking for some guidance. When is the first maintenance ACTUALLY due in the XD1500 to protect MFG warranty. I can find nothing in the owners manual about changing oil at 25/50 hours-/ only checking fluids. I have attached three images here-- one is photo from app which states 25 hours. Other two are from owners manual which states 12 months, 2000 hours or 2000 miles.

Nowhere can I find a legitimate source stating break in service at 25 hours-- even Polaris own information is contradictory. Any guidance is helpful.

There is no need for the 25 hour break in oil change unless you want to. Technically and to follow the maintenance schedule and Polaris recommendations, you don’t need to change the oil until the 200 hour/2000 mile mark. I did have my oil, front and rear diffs changed at around 90 hours/900 miles. Just because that’s what I usually do with all new vehicles. Along with my air filters and plugs.

I did my first service at 800 miles because it was at the dealer for a Ride Command issue. As Mr.C said above 200 hrs. or 2000 miles is the recommended service interval, and I see no reason why that shouldn't be good enough for many of us. Now if you really work this thing you might want to reduce it to whatever you feel comfortable with.

Front diff I do oil every 50 hours. First engine oil change I always do at 25 hours. Then every 150

Out of all the fluids the front diff is most important. There is so little oil in it it’s important.

I agree with Mr.C, mine is at 110 hrs and the engine oil looks new.

All the feedback is appreciated. I believe I'll let the dealer "do it all" the first time at about 100 hours or 1,000 miles. That's 1:2 the factory recommendation and hopefully will be sufficient for longevity. I keep things a long time and need to see 30-40k minimum out of engine and transmission.

You won't regret that decision

I have the dealer do all my maintenance when there’s a warranty involved. That way there’s no question if anything was actually maintained or serviced.
