Polaris 2-Cycle Lubricants
Polaris Premium 2-cycle lubricants are the most advanced formulation
of oils, specifically designed for today’s 2-cycle engines. Our ongoing
lab and field tests have resulted in a new generation of 2-cycle
lubricants.
Polaris Premium 2-cycle lubricants provide additives for 2-cycle
engines (lacking in today’s fuel). These necessary additives keep ring
grooves cleaner for less ring sticking and improved overall engine
cleanliness. With new generation lubricity technology, Polaris oils
excel in meeting the lubrication demands of today’s high performance
2-cycle engines. These optimum oils are recommended for liquid
cooled and air cooled 2-cycle engines.
Polaris Premium 2-cycle oils will readily mix with each o ther, but do
not mix Polaris Premium 2-cycle oils with any other brand of oil,
including our Nature Oil Biodegradable oil. Their incompatibility
could result in engine damage.
See page 141 for the part numbers of Polaris-recommended products.
