Use the Polaris oil and run it over 40 hours and you can have problems.

I'll second that Caper.



Overdrive, Polaris doesn't make their own lubricants. A major chemical company makes it for them, then puts Polaris's name on the container. The only reason people bash the Polaris stuff is due to the ridiculous price they try to charge people for the it. Polaris's lubricants are top shelf stuff. But for $14 per quart for PoPo's oil, I can get 3 quarts of Mobil 1 full synthetic.

Polaris oil is full snythetic, for all we know Amsoil makes it for them, I know Polaris does not make oil.

KTM also makes the motor for the Polaris 450/525 Outlaws. So you have Fuji,Weber and KTM , Polaris really likes to subcontract there motors out it seems.

I agree. Some people just like to voice their opinion onto others and feel that they are right you are wrong, end of story. A man that can admit he doesn't know everything and listens to what others have to say, is more intelligent than a man who thinks he knows all in my book. when you come across people like this just roll your eyes and say what-ever in a valley girl voice. LOL I've been accused of knowing alot about everything but I protest that statement because someone out their knows more. And the reason I know alot is because I learned to shut-up and listen once in a while, rather than stone walling a person because I don't need their input .

You have 2 ears and 1 mouth so you should listen twice as much as you talk. Unless you're a woman. I've been using Polaris oil since '97 and haven't had a sinlge engine problem yet.

Maybe. My ex was a motor-mouth. It took her an hour or two just to tell me what kind of day she had. She would finally shut up when she fell asleep.
