Oil Recommendations
POLARIS recommends the use of Performance Synthetic 4-Stroke oil
(PS-4 or PS-4 Plus) for this engine. PS-4 has been specially formulated
for use in POLARIS 4-cycle snowmobile engines. It's a fully synthetic,
high performance, multi-viscosity oil designed to provide the ultimate in
lubrication performance and protection.
Always check and change the oil at the intervals outlined in the Periodic
Maintenance Chart beginning on page 50. Perform the break-in oil
change after 20 hours of operation. Always change the oil any time it's
contaminated with water, fuel or debris.
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.
