MAINTENANCE
Engine Oil
Always check the oil level daily. Change the engine oil at the
intervals outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning
on page 78. Always change the oil filter whenever changing
oil.
WARNING! Vehicle operation with insufficient, deteriorated or
contaminated engine oil will cause accelerated wear and may result
in engine seizure, accident and injury. Always perform the
maintenance procedures as outlined in the Periodic Maintenance
Chart.
Oil Recommendations
NOTICE: Use of a non-recommended engine oil may cause serious
engine damage.
POLARIS recommends the use of POLARIS Diesel Oil (SAE
CI-4) for this vehicle. Always use the correct viscosity grade
based on the ambient temperature expected during operation.
See the chart below.

Oil Check
The oil dipstick is
located on the engine
under the passenger
seat.
Tip: Engine oil should be
checked cold or allow
time for the oil to
drain back into pan
before checking to
prevent overfilling.
1. Position the vehicle
on a level surface.
2. Stop the engine.
3. Tilt the rear cargo
box to access the
engine oil dipstick.
4. Remove the dip-
stick. Wipe it dry
with a clean cloth.
5. Reinstall the dip-
stick, then remove
it 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. -25° F
