MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Engine Oil
Always check and change the engine oil at the intervals outlined in the
Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 66. Always change the
oil filter whenever changing oil.
Premium 4 Synthetic Lubricant
Polaris Premium 4 All Season Synthetic engine oil has been specially
formulated for use in Polaris 4-cycle engines. Polaris recommends the
use of Premium 4 in this engine, but use of any API certified “SH” oil
is allowable as l ong as it’s 0W-40. Oil may need to be changed more
frequently if Polaris Premium 4 is not used. Follow the manufacturer’s
recommendations for ambient temperature operation.
See page 106 for the part numbers of Polaris products.
CAUTION
Mixing brands or using a non-recommended oil may cause
serious engine damage. We recommend the use of Polaris
Premium 4 synthetic Oil or another 0W-40 API certified SH oil.
Never substitute or mix oil brands.
Oil Check
The oil dipstick (1) is located on the left side of
the engine.
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/safe
mark, change the oil immediately.
1. Position the ATV on a level surface.
2. Start the engine and let it idle for 20-30 seconds. Stop the engine.
3. Remove the dipstick and wipe it dry with a clean cloth.
4. Screw the dipstick completely i n.
The dipstick must be screwed
completely in to ensure an accurate
reading.
5. Remove the dipstick and read the oil
level. Maintain the oil level i n the normal/safe operating range (2).
Do not overfill.
