Oil Recommendations
POLARIS recommends the use of POLARIS PS-4 Full Synthetic 5W-
50 4-cycle oil or a similar oil for this engine. See the table on page 82
for fluid recommendations, capacities and plug torques.
Oil may need to be changed more frequently if POLARIS oil is not
used. Always use 5W-50 oil. Follow the manufacturer's
recommendations for ambient temperature operation. See page 129 for
the part numbers of POLARIS products.
NOTICE: Mixing brands or using a non-recommended oil may cause serious
engine damage. Always use the recommended oil. Never substitute
or mix oil brands.
