Lubrication Recommendations
Polaris 2-Cycle Lubricants
Polaris Premium 2-cycle lubricants are the most advanced formulation
of oils, specifically designed for today’s 2-cycle engines. These
lubricants provide additives for 2-cycle engines that are lacking in
today’s fuel. These necessary additives keep ring grooves cleaner for
less ring sticking and improved overall engine cleanliness.
With new generation lubricity technology, Polaris oils excel in meeting
the lubrication demands of today’s high performance 2-cycle engines.
We recommend the use of these optimum oils for Polaris liquid cooled
or air cooled 2-cycle engines.
Polaris premium 2-cycle oils will mix with each other, but consistent
performance will be enhanced by selecting only one of the premium
oils and maintaining regular use of that oil through the life of the unit.
Your dealer will be able to assist you with that selection, based on your
operating conditions and riding style.
Never mix Polaris premium 2-cycle oils with any other brand of oil,
including Polaris Nature Oil Biodegradable oil. Their incompatibility
could result in engine damage. For best performance, we recommend
that you choose one oil for your ATV, then continue to use it for the
life of the unit.
See page 110 for the part numbers of Polaris products.
Polaris VES II Synthetic 2-Cycle Oil
Your vehicle has been primed with VES II synthetic oil. We
recommend the continued use of this oil for your ATV. This lubricant
has been specially formulated for low smoke, low odor, low deposits
and high lubricity.
Premium 2-Cycle Oil

suitable for use in all of our 2-cycle products.
CAUTION
Mixing brands or using a non-recommended oil may cause
serious engine damage. We recommend the use of Polaris
2-cycle oils for your 2-cycle engine. Never mix oil brands.
