Oil Recommendations
Polaris recommends the use of Polaris PS-4 PLUS Performance Syn-
thetic 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 127 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 (500 EFI)
Access the oil dipstick and fill tube
from the left side of the ATV.
Tip: A rising oil level between checks in
cool weather driving can indicate
contaminants such as gas or mois-
ture collecting in the crankcase. If
the oil level is over the full/safe
mark, change the oil immediately.
1. Position the vehicle on a level
surface.
2. Start the engine. Allow it to idle
for 20-30 seconds. Stop the
engine.
3. Remove the dipstick. Wipe it
dry with a clean cloth.
4. Reinstall the dipstick
completely.
5. Remove the dipstick and check
the oil level. Maintain the oil
level in the safe range. Do not
overfill.
6. Reinstall the dipstick securely.
