Gasoline-Oil
Recommended Gasoline
The recommended gasoline to use in these
snowmobiles
is
87
octane
regular
unleaded. In many areas, oxygenates are
added to the gasoline. Oxygenated gaso-
lines containing up to 10% ethanol are
acceptable gasolines; however, on the
2000 models whenever using oxygenated
gasolines, the carburetor main jet must be
one size larger than the main jet required
for regular unleaded gasoline. For exam-
ple, if a 220 main jet is recommended for
regular unleaded gasoline, a 230 main jet
must be installed if using an oxygenated
gasoline.
When using ethanol blended gasoline, it is
not necessary to add a gasoline antifreeze
since ethanol will prevent the accumula-
tion of moisture in the fuel system.
Recommended Injection
Oil (2000)
The recommended oil to use in the oil-
injection system is Arctic Cat Formula 50
Injection Oil (p/n 5639-475 - qt) or (p/n
5639-476 - gal.). This oil is specially for-
mulated to be used either as an injection
oil or as a pre-mix oil (for break-in) and
meets all of the lubrication requirements
of the Arctic Cat snowmobile engine.
Recommended Engine Oil
(5000)
The recommended oil to use is C-TEC4
Synthetic Oil (p/n 6639-524 - qt) or (p/n
6639-525 - gal.).
After the engine break-in period, the
engine oil should be changed every 2500-
3000 miles and before prolonged storage.
Filling Gas Tank
Since gasoline expands as its temperature
increases, the gas tank must be filled to
its rated capacity only. Expansion room
must be maintained in the tank particu-
larly if the tank is filled with cold gaso-
line and then moved to a warm area.
Also, if the snowmobile is to remain on a
trailer after filling the gas tank, the bed of
the trailer must be maintained level to
prevent gasoline from draining out
through the gas tank vent hose.

CAUTION
Do not use white gas or gasolines
containing methanol. Only Arctic Cat
approved gasoline additives should
be used.
CAUTION
Any oil used in place of the recom-
mended
oil
could
cause
serious
engine damage.
! WARNING
Always fill the gas tank in a well-venti-
lated area. Never add gasoline to the
snowmobile gas tank near any open
flames or with the engine running. DO
NOT SMOKE while filling the gas tank.
Do not sit on the snowmobile without
first installing the gas tank cap.
