Engine Oil
Oil Recommendation
Oil directly affects performance and service life. Use a 4-stroke
automotive detergent oil, see page 64 for recommended oil. Other
viscosities may be used when the applicable average temperature is
within the recommended range.
The SAE oil viscosity and service category are in the API label on the
oil container. POLARIS recommends the use of API service category
“SJ” or later, equivalent oil.
Oil Level Inspection
Failure to use the proper 4-stroke engine oil may result in engine
damage.
Using non-recommended oil may cause serious engine damage. Never
substitute or mix oil brands.
Note: Inspect the oil level before each use with the engine stopped and the
generator on a level surface.
1. Open the service door.
2. Remove the oil filler cap /
dipstick (A) and wipe it clean.
3. Insert the dipstick (A) into filler
neck, screwing it in, to inspect
the oil level.
4. Remove the dipstick and verify
that the oil is at the upper limit
(B). Add additional oil and
inspect the level as needed until
the upper limit has been
reached.
5. Re-install the dipstick (A). Use a clean shop rag to clean any spilled
oil.
