OPERATION
Oil
Low Oil Indicator Light
The low oil indicator light will indicate when to add oil. See page 55
for oil recommendations.
When the low oil indicator light is on, oil should be added before
further operation of the snowmobile. Visually check the oil level in the
bottle. The engine may be operated as long as oil is visible in the oil
tank. If oil is not visible, continued operation may cause serious
engine damage.
Never mix brands of oil. Serious chemical reactions can cause
injection system blockage, resulting in serious engine damage. They
may also be incompatible and the result could be sludge formation,
filter blockage, and reduced cold weather flow rates. All Polaris oils
are compatible with each other.
Always maintain the oil level above the tank’s low level line. This is
especially important when the machine is operated in mountainous
terrain. Maintaining the proper oil level will prevent system aeration
and possible loss of pumping action, which could result in engine
damage.
CAUTION
Mixing brands or using a non-recommended oil may cause serious
engine damage. We recommend the use of Polaris VES oil in all
snowmobile engines equipped with variable exhaust valves. Never
mix brands.
CAUTION
Operating the snowmobile without proper engine lubrication can
result in serious engine damage. Always check the oil level when
refueling.
