Default 2005 Polaris 500 scrambler oil noises

I changed the oil and filter with Polaris synthetic. Also changed the other fluids also. Now the motor oil is aerating and making growling noises in the oil reservoir. Was not making noises before I tried to do some P.M. on this machine, not good. Any ideas on what I did wrong? Thanks

not sure if this applies to you, but did you try priming the oil pump?

Brian,

Sorry to hear of your problem. On Readymixers comment, no need to prime the oil pump on the Scrammy, that is just on the Predators.

I am wondering if you have a bad filter. There could have been some issue with the manufactoring of the filter. Might want to try changing out to another one.

As long as the oil level is accurate, man I don't know what else to suggest. Maybe a call to the dealer to see if they have any suggestions.

Good luck
