2W-50 Oil
I just bought a brand new 2008 Polaris Outlaw 450 MXR. I was going through the manual and it recommends the use of Polaris PS-4 Plus Performance Synthetic 2W-50 4-cycle oil. It also states do not use Polaris PS-4 Performance Synthetic 10W-40 Oil. Always use 2W-50.
I usually buy most my stuff on Motosport.com. When I put in my bike and then run a search for engine oil, it mostly comes up with 10W-40 and 20W-50.
Is 2W-50 a typo? What oils can I use on my bike?
Thanks,
Joe

0w-40 Mobil 1 or any other manufacturer if available, OR PS4 Plus 2w50. Other listings on oil on the internet can be deceiving,or just flat wrong. Although this may start another "oil war" as some people will still use their preferred brand and "weight". It is in fact a KTM engine and in some of the race bikes guys use Motul 5w30,5w40 or 10w40 Gets a little complicated when "two" manufacturers are involved. I would go by the manual and keep all oil receipts in case of any engine problems. This is just to CYA! OPT
