Arctic Cat 300 series

Differential fluid capacity & service interval

Arctic Cat 300 series differential fluid capacity is 0,15 liter. Service intervals include checking at 300 miles or 3 months, and changing at 1500 miles or 12 months, or every 12 months. The data covers 3 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes

  • The Arctic Cat 300 Utility rear differential holds 0.15 liter across all three generation spans covered in the specifications, from 2010-2017. A capacity this small is consistent with a compact sealed differential housing rather than a large axle assembly.
  • For the 2010-2011 and 2012-2014 model years, the rear differential fluid interval includes both a check interval and a change interval. The check is set at every 300 miles or 3 months, while the change falls at 1,500 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first.
  • The 2015-2017 300 Utility specification lists only a 12-month change interval for the rear differential, without a separate mileage-based check interval as seen in earlier model years.
  • All three generation spans share the same 0.15-liter rear differential capacity, indicating no change in housing volume across the 2010-2017 production period covered by the specifications.
  • The 12-month change interval appears consistently across all three generation spans, meaning time elapsed is a universal service trigger for the rear differential regardless of model year.
  • The 300-mile or 3-month check interval present in the 2010-2014 specifications serves as a monitoring step between full fluid changes, allowing for early detection of fluid loss or contamination before the 1,500-mile or 12-month change threshold is reached.
