How much oil does a 570 sportsman hold?
The engine oil capacity for most Polaris Sportsman 570 models is about 2.0 quarts (1.9 liters) when the oil filter is changed; without the filter, the capacity is typically around 1.8 quarts (1.7 liters).
Engine oil capacity overview
Understanding the exact oil capacity is important for proper lubrication and engine longevity. Values can vary slightly by year or variant, so always verify against your specific model year in the owner's or service manual.
Typical capacity figures
Below are the standard figures you’ll commonly encounter when servicing a 570 Sportsman. Use them as baseline, and confirm with your manual for your exact year.
- Engine oil capacity with filter: approximately 2.0 quarts (1.9 liters).
- Engine oil capacity without filter: approximately 1.8 quarts (1.7 liters).
- Recommended oil type and viscosity: synthetic oils such as 5W-40 or 0W-40 are common; check your year’s manual for the recommended specification.
When performing an oil change, ensure the engine is level, drain completely, replace the filter, and then fill to the full mark on the dipstick with the engine off and cold. Recheck after a brief run and re-verify the level when the engine is cool.
Year-to-year variations
Some model years or regional variants may have small differences in exact capacity or filtration requirements. If you’re servicing a specific year or if you notice oil consumption or leaks, consult the official manual or a Polaris dealer for the precise specification and recommended service interval.
Summary
In short, the Polaris Sportsman 570 typically holds about 2.0 quarts (1.9 liters) of engine oil with the filter, and roughly 1.8 quarts (1.7 liters) without the filter. Always verify the exact figure for your year and model in the manual, and follow proper draining and filling procedures to ensure accurate oil levels.

Can you use 10W-40 motor oil in an ATV?
You should not use regular car 10W-40 oil in an ATV because ATV engines often have a shared lubrication system for the engine, wet clutch, and transmission, which requires specific additives found in dedicated ATV or powersports oil. Using car oil can damage the wet clutch due to friction modifiers and cause premature wear. Always use a 10W-40 oil explicitly labeled for ATVs or Powersports, or consult your owner's manual for the specific recommendation.
Why car oil is not suitable for ATVs
- Wet clutch damage: Many ATVs have a "wet clutch" that is bathed in the engine oil. Regular car oil contains friction modifiers that can cause the clutch to slip, leading to poor performance and damage.
- High RPMs and extreme conditions: ATV engines run at high RPMs for extended periods and are used in harsh environments, which requires a specialized oil with better film strength to prevent viscosity breakdown.
- Lack of proper additives: Car oils lack the specific additives needed for the unique stresses of an ATV's combined engine and transmission lubrication system.
What to use instead
- Look for oil specifically labeled for ATVs, UTVs, or Powersports.
- Check for the JASO MA or MA2 rating, which signifies it is suitable for wet clutches.
- Always check your ATV's owner's manual for the correct viscosity (like 10W-40) and oil type recommendation.
