Polaris AGL Extreme: The Transmission Fluid Built for Desert Heat

If you’ve been running Polaris AGL in your RZR, Ranger, or XPEDITION, you already know it’s solid. We’ve trusted it for 15+ years in race cars and personal builds—but now Polaris has stepped it up with AGL Extreme, and it’s worth your attention.

What Is AGL Extreme?

AGL Extreme is part of Polaris’ Extreme Synthetics lineup—designed specifically for riders and racers pushing their machines to the edge. Whether it’s the 115° Arizona desert or mountain riding in freezing temps, this is engineered to deliver transmission protection across a huge temperature range.

  • Rated for -45°F to 130°F+
  • 83.8°F cooler sump temps under extreme load
  • 50% better cold fluidity at -40°F
  • 50% better viscosity retention above 212°F
  • 48% stronger film strength for wear protection

That translates to cooler operation, less wear, and smoother shifting—even when you’re working your machine hard.

When Should You Use AGL Extreme?

Polaris recommends AGL Extreme for:

  • Racing applications
  • Heavy towing or loaded trail rides
  • Extreme temperature environments
  • Riders who want the best protection, period

Here in Arizona, where summer rides can mean blazing heat and brutal climbs, it’s a smart upgrade for anyone looking to reduce wear and extend transmission life.

In-Store Only: Ask for It at Our Shop

We don’t sell Polaris lubricants online, but we do carry AGL Extreme in-store at our North Phoenix location. If you’re coming in for service—or just need to top off—ask our team about upgrading to AGL Extreme.

A few bucks more per quart can mean a lot more miles before you’re dealing with rebuilds or performance issues.

  • RZR: Pro R, Pro XP, XP 1000, Trail, and more

Final Thoughts

We’ve run the standard AGL for years, but if you’re racing, hauling, or riding in extreme heat, AGL Extreme is the upgrade we recommend. It runs cooler, lasts longer, and keeps your transmission protected when it matters most.

Stop by the shop and ask about AGL Extreme next time you’re in—we’ll get you dialed in.
