the dealership gave me a polaris oil change kit. the quarts it came with said ps4..not 0w-40...Is the ps4 the wrong oil for my fourwheeler? or are they the same oils?

 

I think PS4 was originally made for the Predator. I read somewhere else that it's 0W-50 and Polaris quit making the 0W-40 altogether. I think PS4 is for all 4-strokes now.

 

should i try the mobile 1 ow-40? and when i go to the auto store is it a car oil? or will it say motorcycle oil?

 

If it's not the right SERVICE GRADE, don't use it no matter WEIGHT it is. Your owner's manual should say what grade to use.

 

[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] We are phasing out 0-40 for PS4SS,Yes PS4 was for the Predator! 0-50 for Hawkeye and Phoenix! It sounds confusing,and yes it is! Hope to have STANDARDIZED oil for all vehicles someday!

 

i think you could use either the 0-40 or the new 2-50w the ps4. just make sure its the same fully syn. oil and i think it would be fine. imo.

 

Ditto.

I use Amsoil 0W-40, lots of guys use Mobil 1 0W-40....it will say European Car Forumla.

 

Lots of people use 0w-40 Mobile1 without a problem. Polaris uses low weight oil like 0w-40 and 2w-50 to get oil to the cam quickly on cold starts.

With most of your oil in a seperate tank, I think the light oil is a good idea. If all the oil was sitting right there in the crankcase maybe it would be okay to use a heavier weight. A lot of people act like ATVs and cars are built the same way, and whatever they get away with in their cars will also work in an ATV.
