for this engine. Premium 4 is a fully synthetic, high performance, multi-
viscosity oil designed to provide the ultimate in lubrication performance
and protection. See page 116 for the part numbers of Polaris products.

perature operation.
Mixing brands or using a non-recommended oil may cause serious engine
damage. Always use a recommended oil. Never substitute or mix oil brands.
