Premium 4 Synthetic Lubricant
Polaris Premium 4 All S eason Synthetic engine oil has been specially
formulated for use in P olaris 4 cycle engines. It is a fully synthetic,
high performance, multi-viscosity oil designed to provide the ultimate
in lubrication performance and protection.
Premium 4 possesses unsurpassed film strength over the widest
possible temperature range. It resists viscosity and frictional
breakdown in ambient temperatures from -40° F to 120° F. Its
exceptional frictional properties result in more efficient operation, more
power output and lower fuel consumption.
Although P olaris P remium 4 is the only oil recommended for use i n
this engine, use of any API certified “SH” oil is allowable. Oil may
need to be changed more frequently if P olaris Premium 4 is not used.
You will also need to follow the manufacturers recommendations for
ambient temperature operation.

The oil tank is located on
the left side of the vehicle.
To check the oil:
1. Set machine on a level
surface.
2. Start t he engine and let it idle for 20-30 seconds.
3. Stop the engine, remove dipstick and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
4. S crew in the dipstick completely, remove it and read the oil level.
