Low Oil Indicator Light
The low oil indicator light will indicate when to add oil. See page 47 for
oil recommendations.
When the low oil indicator light is on, oil should be added before further
operation of the snowmobile. Visually check the oil level in the bottle.
The engine may be operated as long as oil is visible in the oil tank. If oil
is not visible, continued operation may cause serious engine damage.
Never mix brands of oil. Serious chemical reactions can cause injection
system blockage, resulting in serious engine damage. They may also be
incompatible and the result could be sludge formation, filter blockage,
and reduced cold weather flow rates. All Polaris oils are compatible
with each other.
Always maintain the oil level above the tank’s low level line. This is
especially important when the machine is operated in mountainous ter-
rain. Maintaining the proper oil level will prevent system aeration and
possible loss of pumping action, which could result in engine damage.
NOTICE: Mixing brands or using a non-recommended oil may cause
serious engine damage. We recommend the use of Polaris 2-
cycle oils for your snowmobile. Never mix brands.
Operating the snowmobile without proper engine lubrication
can result in serious engine damage. Always check the oil
level when refueling.
