Lubrication Recommendations
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. NOTE: See page 121 for t he
part numbers of Polaris products.
Premium 4 possesses unsurpassed film strength over the widest
possible t emperature 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 P remium 4 is the only oil recommended for use i n
this engine, use of any API certified “SH” oil is allowable as long as
it’s 0W-40. Oil m ay need to be changed more frequently if Polaris
Premium 4 is not used. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations
for ambient temperature operation.
