I got a sp 600 2003 and i was wondering if i could'nt use another brand of oil besides polaris? or do I gooottt to use polaris oil 0w40? Also is there any other brand for the filter? and is it going to mess with the bike?

 

If polaris recomends using their oil you should use it......My buddy put mobil 1 sythetic in his but he does just until he gets enough money to go buy polaris oil.....But i recomend using the polaris oil.....

 

You have to run 0w40 oil, Polaris does this because the top ends might not get oil in cold weather etc.. These are the other companies that make 0w40 that i know of: Mobil 1, amsoil and polaris all of those are ok.. I am not sure of any other filters for the 600 engine, In till someone recommends a filter that works well i would use the polaris filter...


Hope this helps...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Search on the WIX or Amsoil site for a cross reference # for the 600 oil filter. I am pretty sure they make one

 

Hastings does make the filter (Amsoils supplier, but I can't find the cross referance in my book) and Amsoil does carry a 0w 40 that will work just fine in the sportsman.

 

The Wix filter part number for the 600 and 700 is 51357. (wixfilters.com)
