Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 53. Always change the
oil filter whenever changing oil. Change the oil more often if the vehicle
is routinely subjected to:
• operation in dusty or wet conditions
• operation when air temperature is below -12
° C.
• short trips at -12 ° to -1° C. (engine fails to reach operating tempera-
ture).
Polaris recommends the use of Performance Synthetic 4-Stroke (PS-4)
0W-50 oil for this engine. PS-4 is a fully synthetic, high performance,
multi-viscosity oil designed to provide the ultimate in lubrication per-
formance and protection.
Oil may need to be changed more frequently if Polaris oil is not used.
Always use 0W-50 oil. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for
ambient temperature operation.
