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 p art

exceptional frictional properties result in more efficient operation, more
power output and lower fuel consumption.

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
