Lubrication Recommendations
Premium 4 Synthetic Lubricant
Polaris Premium 4 All Season synthetic engine oil has been specially
formulated for use in Polaris 4-cycle engines. It’s a fully synthetic,
high performance, multi-viscosity oil designed to provide the ultimate
in lubrication performance and protection. NOTE: See page 117 for the
part numbers of Polaris-recommended products.
Premium 4 possesses unsurpassed film strength over the widest
possible temperature range. It resists viscosity and frictional
breakdown in ambient temperatures from -40° F. to 120° F. (-40 to
+49° C.) Its exceptional frictional properties result in more efficient
operation, more power output and lower fuel consumption.
Although Polaris Premium 4 is the only oil recommended for use in
this engine, use of any API certified SH oil is allowable as long as it’s
0W-40. Oil may need to be changed more frequently if Polaris
Premium 4 is not used. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations
for ambient temperature operation.
CAUTION
Mixing brands or using a non-recommended oil may cause serious
engine damage. We recommend the use of Polaris Premium 4 All
Season synthetic oil or API certified SH oil, 0W-40. Never
substitute or mix oil brands. Use only 0W-40.
