4-Cycle Premium 4 Synthetic Lubricant
Polaris Premium 4 All Season Synthetic engine oil has been spe-
cially formulated for use in Polaris 4-cycle engines. It is a fully syn-
thetic, high performance, multi-viscosity oil designed to provide
the ultimate in lubrication performance and protection.
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. Its ex-
ceptional frictional properties result in more efficient operation,
more power output, lower fuel consumption, and easier starting in
cold temperatures.
Although Polaris Premium 4 is the only oil recommended for use
in this engine, use of any API certified “SH” oil is allowable. Oil may
need to be changed more frequently if Polaris Premium 4 is not
used. You will also need to follow the manufacturers recommen-
dations for ambient temperature operation.
Use only Polaris Premium 4 All Season synthetic oil (PN
2871271), or API certified “SH” oil. Never substitute or mix oil
brands. Serious engine damage and voiding of warranty can
result.
