Gasoline - Oil - Lubricant
FILLING GAS TANK
Since gasoline expands as its temperature rises, the gas tank
must be filled to its rated capacity only. Expansion room must
be maintained in the tank particularly if the tank is filled with
cold gasoline and then moved to a warm area.
Tighten the gas tank cap securely after filling the tank.
RECOMMENDED GASOLINE
The recommended gasoline to use is 87 minimum octane
regular unleaded. In many areas, oxygenates are added to
the gasoline. Oxygenated gasolines containing up to 10%
ethanol or 5% methane are acceptable gasolines.
When using ethanol blended gasoline, it is not necessary
to add a gasoline antifreeze since ethanol will prevent the
accumulation of moisture in the fuel system.
RECOMMENDED ENGINE/
TRANSMISSION OIL
The recommended oil to use is Arctic Cat ACX All
Weather synthetic which has been specifically formu-
lated for use in this engine. Although Arctic Cat ACX All
Weather synthetic engine oil is the only oil recommended
for use in this engine, use of any API certified SM 0W-40
oil is acceptable.

can adversely affect clutch operation. Also, not recom-
mended are racing, vegetable, non-detergent, and cas-
tor-based oils.

Any lubricant used in place of the recommended lubri-
cant could cause serious front differential/rear drive
damage.
