I use 0w-40 Amsoil with a Fram CPH6607 oil filter also and in our 97 500 sportsman with 7000 miles. I use full synthetic 75w-90 in my front diff and synthetic snow machine chain case oil in the tranny. The only thing I would use that is Polaris is there Hub fluid or front diff fluid depending on your front drive set up.</end quote></div>
Using a great oil and a lousy oil filter kinda defeating the purpose. Check this study out. http://www.calsci.com/motorcycleinfo/FilterStudy.html

I agree with the above poster. Go ahead and still use Polaris fluids/oils but just don't gave that dealer
your business. I know what you mean about some of the techs. Alot of them have attitudes, I think its
just the business. And alot of shops hire guys without lots of exp. to keep labor costs down. I would
be surprised if most shops had more than 1 or 2 Sr. techs.
You can always buy online to avoid the dealership aggrevation. I had to boycott a few local dealers
around here as to WHY I didn't want my AC anymore, didn't guy Suzuki, Yamaha and Honda. Customer
service is poor in my area with those shops. I had to go 2 1/2 hours away to find my Polaris and that
place is great. They really know customer service!

Reading my manual it says to use 0W40 in the engine, are you guys really using amisol 5w30 and having no problems?</end quote></div>
Hmmm. It IS possible to take out a .357 magnum, put one round in the cylinder, spin the cylinder, close it, put the gun to your head, pull the trigger, and have no problems come of it. Does this mean that it is smart?
Never fails to amaze me when people try to see what they can "get away with" for fluids in their Polaris ATVs. To me it is an ABSOLUTE NO-BRAINER. ANY FLUID that I put into my Polaris ATVs ( other than gas) comes in a blue bottle that says "POLARIS" on the side. I'm CERTAINLY not going to gamble with my $7000 machines, and try to see what i can "get away with". We are talking what? $25 extra per year to change all the fluids using Polaris brand fluids instead of some other brand? Think about it.

I may be wrong here but I'm pretty dang sure polaris doesn't manufacture their own polaris fluids. More than likely they buy bulk syn. fluid and put it in their containers. There's always something better out there than factory. I'm sure most of the people here don't have completly stock vehicles without any upgrades (ex: intake, exhaust, programmer, you get the point)
