Premium 4 Synthetic Lubricant

Polaris Premium 4 All Season Synthetic engine oil has been specially
formulated for use in Polaris 4 cycle engines. It's 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 Polaris Premium 4 is the only oil recommended for use in
this engine, use of any API certified SH oil is allowable as long as it's
0-40W. Oil may need to be changed more frequently if Polaris
Premium 4 is not used. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations
for ambient temperature operation.
Mixing brands or using a non-recommended oil may cause
serious engine damage. We recommend the use of Polaris
Premium 4 All Season synthetic oil or API certified SH oil, 0-40W.
Never mix brands.

Oil System

The oil tank is located on the left side of the vehicle. To check the oil:
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Start the engine and let it idle for 20-30 seconds.
3. Stop the engine. Remove the dipstick and wipe it dry with a clean
cloth.
4. Screw the dipstick completely in, then remove it and check to see
if the oil level is between the full and add marks. NOTE: The
dipstick must be screwed all the way in to keep the angle and depth
consistent.
5. Add oil (see page 118) as
needed to bring the level
to the normal range (1).
Do not overfill.
NOTE: If oil level rises above the full mark, water and/or fuel may be
collecting in the tank and the oil should be changed.
