MAINTENANCE

Engine Oil

Always check and change the oil at the intervals outlined in the Periodic

Maintenance Chart beginning on page 69. Always use the recommended

engine oil.

Oil Check

The oil dipstick and fill tube is

located on the engine, behind

the passenger seat (behind the

right rear passenger seat on

RZR 4 models).
1. Position the vehicle on a

level surface.

2. Place the transmission in

PARK.

3. Remove both seats. Remove

the rear service panel. See

page 31.

4. Lift the lever lock to remove

the dipstick. Wipe it dry with

a clean cloth.

5. Reinstall the dipstick com-

pletely, but do not lock it. The

dipstick must be inserted com-

pletely in to keep the angle

and depth of the stick consis-

tent.

6. Remove the dipstick and

check the oil level. Maintain

the oil level in the safe range.

Do not overfill.

Tip: Due to the dipstick entry angle

into the crankcase, the oil level

will read higher on the bottom

side of the dipstick. Always read

the level on the upper surface of

the dipstick.

7. Reinstall the dipstick. Seat the

lever lock.
