Additional Notes

  • The Arctic Cat ThunderCat 4x4 front differential holds a fixed 275 CM3 of fluid, indicating a precise service fill volume with no overhaul variance built into the specification.
  • The rear differential on the ThunderCat 4x4 carries a capacity range of 250-275 CM3, which reflects a tolerance band rather than a single fixed fill volume, distinguishing it from the front differential specification.
  • Both the front and rear differential fluid change intervals are set at 48 months under normal use conditions, placing service on a four-year cycle rather than a mileage or hour-based schedule.
  • The 48-month change interval applies identically across the 2008-2013 model years for both differential positions, with no variation tied to specific years within that range.
