MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Engine Oil
Always check and change the oil at the intervals outlined in the
Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 53. We recommend the
use of Polaris Premium 4 All Season Synthetic engine oil.
Oil Check (2x4, 4X4)
The oil tank is located under the
seat.
1. Position the vehicle on a
level surface.
2. Start the engine and let it
idle for 20-30 seconds.
3. Stop the engine and remove
the seat (see page 27).
4. Remove the dipstick (1) and
wipe it dry with a clean
cloth.
5. Reinstall the dipstick and
screw it in completely.
NOTE: The dipstick must be
screwed in
completely to keep
the angle and depth
of the stick consistent.
6. Remove the dipstick and check to see that the oil level is between
the full and add marks (2). Add oil if necessary. Do not overfill.
NOTE: A rising oil level between checks in cool weather driving can
indicate moisture collecting in the oil reservoir. If the oil level
is above the full mark, change the oil.
