Oil Recommendations

POLARIS recommends the use of Performance Synthetic 4-Stroke oil
(PS-4 or PS-4 Plus) for this engine. PS-4 has been specially formulated
for use in POLARIS 4-cycle snowmobile engines. It's a fully synthetic,
high performance, multi-viscosity oil designed to provide the ultimate in
lubrication performance and protection.

Oil may need to be changed more frequently if POLARIS PS-4 oil is not
used. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for ambient tempera-
ture operation.

NOTICE: Mixing brands or using a non-recommended oil may cause serious

engine damage. Always use the recommended oil. Never substitute or

mix oil brands.
