Oil Recommendations

POLARIS recommends the use of POLARIS PS-4 PLUS Performance
Synthetic 2W-50 4-cycle oil or a similar oil for this engine. Oil may
need to be changed more frequently if POLARIS oil is not used. Always
use 2W-50 oil. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for ambient
temperature operation. See page 118 for the part numbers of POLARIS
products.
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.

Oil Level

Access the oil dipstick and fill tube
from the left side of the ATV.
1. Position the vehicle on a level
surface.
2. Lift the lever lock to remove the
dipstick. Wipe it dry with a clean
cloth.
3. Reinstall the dipstick completely,
but do not lock it. The dipstick
must be inserted completely to
keep the angle and depth of the
stick consistent.
4. Remove the dipstick and check
the oil level. Maintain the oil
level in the safe range. Do not
overfill.
Tip: Due to the dipstick entry angle into
the crankcase, the oil level will read
higher on the bottom side of the dip-
stick. Always read the level on the
upper surface of the dipstick.
5. After reinstalling the dipstick,
seat the lever lock.
