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 570
cc whenever using oxygenated gasolines,
the carburetor main jet must be one size
larger than the main jet required for regular
unleaded gasoline. For example, 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 (F5/570 cc)
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
(1100 cc)
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.
