Engine Oil

Oil Recommendation

Oil directly affects performance and service life. Use a 4-stroke
automotive detergent oil. POLARIS 5W-30 Engine Oil is recommended
for this generator.
The SAE oil viscosity and service category are in the API label on the
oil container. POLARIS recommends the use of API service category
"SJ" or later, equivalent oil.

Oil Level Inspection

Failure to use the proper 4-stroke engine oil may result in engine
damage.
Using non-recommended oil may cause serious engine damage. Never
substitute or mix oil brands.
Note: Inspect the oil level before each use with the engine stopped and the
generator on a level surface.
1. Open the service door.
2. Remove the oil filler cap /
dipstick (A) and wipe it clean.
3. Insert the dipstick (A) into
filler neck, without screwing it
in, to inspect the oil level.

verify that the oil is at the
upper limit (B). Add
additional oil and inspect the
level as needed until the upper
limit has been reached.
