New to atv's . what kinda oil do i use in my polaris 425 magnum . i was told 5w-30 would be ok.

 

Welcome to the forums Twiztid. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I stay with the weight that Polaris says. On mine, it's 0w-50, and I use synthetic. Mobil 1, but there are many other brands out there beside the stuff Polaris sells.

Check your manual and stick with that weight. The brand choice is yours. I say whatever you feel comfortable with.

 

well i bought it used , its a 95 model . i'll try to find a manual to download online.

 

I think it's 0w40 for that model.

I could be wrong, so the wife has told me before.

 

go to polaris industries online under the riders tab for online owners manual

 

0-40 Mobil 1 is what I use in my 500. 5-30 is wayyy to thin. Maybe 10-30 in cold weather months, but even then 0-40 is the best year 'round choice.

 

i found a a manual for a 98 model and it said use a 0w-40 synthetic so thats probally what i'll be using . unless i find a manual for the 95 and it says otherwise. thanks for the help guys .

 

We have 95 Magnum 425 and it calls for 0-40..This is the same for all Polaris four strokes...My 2007 Sportsman 500 EFI uses the same oil..You can also use NAPA 1358 oil filters...HOPE THIS HELPS AND RIDE SAFE...

 

thanks , i just went to walmart and picked up a few quarts of mobile one 0w-40.
