To check the transmission oil in a 2004 Polaris Sportsman 500, first ensure the vehicle is on a level surface and the engine is off. Locate the transmission oil dipstick, which is typically found near the rear of the engine case. Remove the dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert it without screwing it in, and then remove it again to check the oil level. The oil should be between the "Full" and "Add" marks; if it's low, add the appropriate transmission oil as specified in the owner's manual.
