Engine Oil
Oil Change
Always change the oil at the intervals outlined in the Periodic Mainte-
nance Table beginning on page 82. Clean the foam oil breather element
with each engine oil change. See page 94.
Always use the recommended oil. See page 86, or see your POLARIS
dealer about oil change kits, which contain a new filter and the recom-
mended oil.
Tip: A special jumper harness is required for changing the oil on this vehicle.
Please see your POLARIS dealer to purchase the harness, which will allow
you to use the ignition key to turn over the engine without starting it. You
may also need an assistant to help with the oil change.
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Make sure the engine coolant temperature is between 145 and 160
degrees F. (63-71 degrees C). If necessary, start the engine and
allow it to idle until the coolant temperature is within the specified
range.
3. Turn the engine off.
CAUTION! Hot oil and a hot exhaust system and engine can cause burns. Do
not allow hot oil or hot components to contact skin.
4. Open the hood and remove the right side panel.
Tip: Clamp orientation is critical to the proper operation of the system. Be aware
of clamp placement and orientation when removing hose clamps. Always
reinstall hose clamps in the same location and position.
