Oil Injection System<br />

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 />
