Engine Oil Level

The twin cylinder engine is a wet-sump engine, meaning
the oil is contained in the bottom of the crankcase. To
check the oil level follow the procedure listed below:
1. Position vehicle on a level surface.
2. Place the transmission in Park (P).
3. Stop the engine and allow it to cool down before
removing the dipstick.
IMPORTANT: Do not run the machine and then check
the dipstick.
4. Locate the engine oil dipstick:
• RZR / RZR S: Remove both seats and the rear
service panel to access the dipstick.
• RZR 4: Remove the right rear passenger seat to
access the dipstick.
5. Lift the lever lock, remove dipstick and wipe dry with
a clean cloth.

6. Reinstall the dipstick completely, but do not lock it.
NOTE: Make certain the dipstick is inserted all the
way into the filler tube to keep the angle and depth of
dipstick consistent.
7. Remove dipstick and check to see that the oil level is
in the SAFE range. Add oil as indicated by the level
on the dipstick. Do not overfill (see NOTE below!).
Maintain Oil Level In SAFE Range
DO NOT Overfill the Engine
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.
8. Reinstall the dipstick and lock the lever.
