Oil Check - Polaris Ranger 4X4 Owner's Manual

Engine Oil
Always check and change the oil at the intervals outlined in the Periodic
Maintenance Chart beginning on page 50. See page 56 for oil recom-
mendations.

Oil Check

The oil tank is located under
the seat.
1. Position the vehicle on a
level surface.
2. Apply the brakes. Start the
engine and allow it to idle
for 20-30 seconds. Stop the
engine.
3. Remove the seat. See page
27.
4. Remove the dipstick. Wipe
it dry with a clean cloth.
5. Reinstall the dipstick.
Screw it in completely.
Tip: The dipstick must be screwed
in completely to keep the
angle and depth of the stick
consistent.
6. Remove the dipstick. Make sure that the oil level is between the full
and add marks. Add oil if necessary. Do not overfill.
Tip: A rising oil level between checks in cool weather driving can indicate mois-
ture collecting in the oil reservoir. If the oil level is above the full mark,
change the oil.
