MAINTENANCE

ENGINE OIL

Always check and change the oil at the intervals outlined in the Periodic
Maintenance Chart. Always use the recommended engine oil. Always change
the oil filter whenever changing oil.
Pay special attention to the oil level. A rise in oil level during cold weather can
indicate contaminants collecting in the oil sump or crankcase. Change oil
immediately if the oil level begins to rise. Monitor the oil level, and if it continues
to rise, discontinue use and determine the cause. Your dealer can assist.
WARNING
Vehicle operation with insufficient, deteriorated, or contaminated engine oil will
cause accelerated wear and may result in engine seizure, accident and injury.
Always perform the maintenance procedures as outlined in the Periodic
Maintenance Chart.

OIL RECOMMENDATIONS

POLARIS recommends the use of POLARIS PS-4 5W-50 4-Cycle Oil or a
similar oil. Refer to the Specifications section for capacities.
Oil may need to be changed more frequently if POLARIS PS-4 engine oil is not
used. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for ambient temperature
operation. See the Polaris Products section for part numbers.
NOTICE
Mixing brands or using a non-recommended oil may cause serious engine
damage. Always use the recommended oil. Never substitute or mix oil brands.
