Oil Check - Polaris 500 Owner's Manual For Maintenance And Safety

Engine Oil
Always check and change the oil at the intervals outlined in the Periodic
Maintenance Chart beginning on page 52. We recommend the use of
Polaris Premium 4 All Season Synthetic engine oil.

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
26.
4. Remove the dipstick. Wipe
it dry with a clean cloth.
5. Reinstall the dipstick.
Screw it in completely.
NOTE:
The dipstick must be
screwed in completely to
keep the angle and
depth of the stick consis-
tent.
Remove the dipstick. Make sure that the oil level is between the full and
add marks. Add oil if necessary. Do not overfill.
NOTE:
A rising oil level between checks in cool weather driving can indicate
moisture collecting in the oil reservoir. If the oil level is above the full
mark, change the oil.
