Additional Notes

  • The Arctic Cat 250 series rear differential holds 150 CM3 of fluid across all three configurations covered in the 2006-2009 model range.
  • A capacity of 150 CM3 is a relatively small volume, consistent with a compact ATV rear differential housing rather than a larger multi-plate or gear-reduction unit.
  • The 250 (2009), the 250 4x2 Utility (2006-2008), and the 250 4x2 DVX (2006-2008) all share an identical 150 CM3 service fill capacity, indicating no variation in differential size across those configurations.
  • The change interval for the rear differential fluid is 1500 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, under normal use conditions across all three configurations.
  • A 1500 km or 12-month interval is a relatively short service cycle, which reflects the demands placed on a small-displacement ATV differential operating under normal riding conditions.
  • The 250 4x2 Utility and 250 4x2 DVX share the same 2006-2008 model year span and carry identical rear differential fluid specifications, suggesting a common drivetrain component between the utility and sport-oriented trims despite their different intended uses.
