Engine Oil
Always check and change the engine oil at the intervals outlined in the
Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 54. Always change the
oil filter whenever changing oil.
Premium 4 Synthetic Oil
Polaris Premium 4 All Season Sy nthetic engine oil has been specially
formulated for use in Polaris 4-cycle engines. It’s a fully synthetic,
high performance, mul ti-viscosity oil designed to provide the ult imate
in lubrication performance and protection. See page 99 for the part
numbers of Polaris products.
Premium 4 possesses unsurpassed film strength ov er the widest
possible temperature range. It resists viscosity and frictional
break d o w n in ambient temperatures from -40! F. to 120! F. Its
excepti onal frictional properties result in more efficient operation, more
power output and lower fuel consumption.
Although Polaris P remium 4 is th e on ly oil recommended for use in
this engine, use o f any API certified “SH” oil is allowable as lo ng as
it’s 0W-40. Oil may need to be changed more frequently if Polaris
Premium 4 is not used. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations
for ambient temperature operation.
CAUTIO N
Mixing brands or using a non-recommended oil may cause
serious engine damage. We recommend the use of Polaris
Premium 4 All Season synthetic oil or API certified “SH” oil,
0W-40. Never substitute or mix oil brands. Use only 0W-40.
WARNING
Vehicle operation with insufficient, deteriorated, or contaminated
engine oil will cause accelerated wear and may result in engine
seizure, accident, and injury. Always perform the maintenance
procedures as outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart.
