Always change the oil filter whenever changing oil. Premium 4 Synthetic Oil Polaris Premium 4 All Season Synthetic engine oil has been specially formulated for use in Polaris 4-cycle engines. It's a fully synthetic, high performance, multi-viscosity oil designed to provide the ultimate in lubrication performance and protection. See page 99 for the part numbers of Polaris products. Premium 4 possesses unsurpassed film strength over the widest possible temperature range. It resists viscosity and frictional breakdown in ambient temperatures from -40° F. to 120° F. Its exceptional frictional properties result in more efficient operation, more power output and lower fuel consumption. Although Polaris Premium 4 is the only oil recommended for use in this engine, use of any API certified "SH" oil is allowable as long as it's 0W-40. Oil may need to be changed more frequently if Polaris Premium 4 is not used. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for ambient temperature operation. CAUTION Mixing brands or using a non-recommended oil may cause serious engine damage. We recommend the use of Polaris Premium 4 All Season synthetic oil or API certified "SH" oil, 0W-40. Never substitute or mix oil brands. Use only 0W-40. 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. 60
