Default Valve adjustment on 800

Can someone give me a final answere on weather or not the valves need adjustment on my 800. The dealer told me i had to bring it in for the routine maintinance to have this done and all the fluids changed or my warrenty would be void. Is this BS or what. If there is no adj I'll change the fluid myself.

I heard from someone on here that it had hydrolic lifters and they required no adjustment.

And you don't have to use Polaris oil either.

I stick with Polaris fluids for the front and the rear cases. I use Mobil 1 for the engine. Keep your receipts for proof that you changed the oil. I do my own so I can stay as far away from that place as possible. My service manager is something else. I also regret buying the extended warrenty. (so far)
