I'm a idiot! (Do these offerings expire?)

Thanks,

I bought the 4 yr warranty for around $700 I think. I also use mostly polaris oils but would love to see a side by side comparo of different oils. Like everyone said first maintenance at 20hrs and then every 50 hrs.

Like with any new or used atv I buy, check all linkages, joints, bolts and nuts after a few hours of ride time.

Polaris oil is a true synthetic. So as far as is it any good? Yes. How good? If you like Amsoil, you should like Popo oil...it is made by Amsoil.

15W40 is way too thick for cold starts. That pretty purple bottle is for people who watched the The Fast and the Furious WAAAAAAAAAAAAY too much. $$$=Better??? Sometimes...if you are gonna spend the money, just pick up some Mobil 1 0w-40.

2W-50 vs. 0W-40...
While it is a wider visco range, i'm 100000000000000000% sure that the engine is NOT going to come apart if you use 0w-40 instead of 2w-50.
