Engine Oil And Filter Change - Polaris MS4000 Service And Owner's Manual

4. Reinstall dipstick and push it into place. Do not lock the
dipstick.
NOTE: Make certain the dipstick is inserted all the
way into the filler tube to keep the angle and depth of
dipstick consistent. When reinstalling the dipstick,
make certain to seat the lever lock.
5. Remove dipstick and check to see that the oil level is in the
normal range. Add oil as indicated by the level on the
dipstick. Do not overfill (see NOTE below!).
NOTE: Due to the dipstick entry angle into the
crankcase, the oil level will read higher on the
bottom side of the dipstick. Proper level indication
is determined on the upper surface of the dipstick as
it is being removed, regardless of the level marks
being on top or on bottom (see the next illustration).
Dipstick
Always read top side of dipstick to
properly check oil level in crankcase
NOTE: A rising oil level between checks in cool
weather driving can indicate contaminants such as
gas or moisture collecting in the crankcase. If the oil
level is over the full mark, change the oil
immediately.
