CAUTION<br />
Serious engine damage can occur without the proper lubrication.<br />
Check the oil tank level often during the first tankful of fuel. If the<br />
oil level doesn’t go down, contact your dealer immediately.<br />
Always fill the oil reservoir when refueling. Fuel-to-oil mix ratios are<br />
controlled by the oil pump and correspond to the engine’s RPM and<br />
throttle valve opening.<br />
Variable Exhaust System<br />
All snowmobile engines equipped with variable exhaust valves should<br />
use VES 2 Cycle Oil (see chart below).<br />
Oil Recommendations<br />
The only source of engine lubrication for your engine comes from<br />
lubrication added to the fuel and oil injection systems. We highly<br />
recommend the use of only <strong>Polaris</strong> products. We’re continuously<br />
testing lubricants and provide the highest performance products<br />
available for your snowmobile’s engine. Refer to the table below to<br />
determine the recommended oils for use in your <strong>Polaris</strong> snowmobile.<br />
Never mix brands of oil. Serious chemical reactions can cause<br />
injection system blockage, resulting in serious engine damage. They<br />
may also be incompatible and the result could be sludge formation,<br />
filter blockage, and reduced cold weather flow rates. All <strong>Polaris</strong> oils<br />
are compatible with each other.<br />
