Engine Oil
Oil Recommendation
Oil directly affects performance and service life. Use a 4-
stroke automotive detergent oil, see page 39 for
recommended oil. Other viscosities may be used when
the applicable average temperature is within the
recommended range.
The SAE oil viscosity and service category are in the API
label on the oil container. Polaris recommends the use of
API service category “SJ” or later, equivalent oil.
Oil Level Inspection
Failure to use the proper 4-stroke engine oil may result in
engine damage.
Using non-recommended oil may cause serious engine
damage. Never substitute or mix oil brands.
NOTE: Inspect the oil level before each use with the
engine stopped and the generator on a level surface.
1. Remove the maintenance cover.
2. Remove the oil filler cap / dipstick (A) and wipe it
clean.
3. Insert the dipstick (A) into filler neck, screwing it in, to
inspect the oil level.
4. Remove the dipstick and verify that the oil is at the
upper limit (B). Add additional oil and inspect the level
