I been using the polaris oil from day 1 on my 850xp and the shop i go to is an half hour drive and the roads are bad covered with snow and the dealer said its not good to use any other oil because i've been using the polaris oil from the start i want to know if there is an alternative oil i can use for now till i can go out there want to go cruising in a bit

 

I've always used mobile-1 0w-40 synthetic with no issues. I know the newer models are supposed to run 2w-50 and I can't say I've ever seen that weight on an auto parts store shelf. But if memory serves me right a mobile-1 0w-50 is available. I would think that would be just fine, I'd use it, but don't take my word for it.

 

dealer said to use 0W40 syntheic just trying to find it around the local stores

 

Yup I use Mobil 1 0W-40 synthetic as well...I get mine at Auto Zone...

I'm using Amsoil 0w-40, its the same damn thing as Popo fluid, but i get a kick-back since I'm a dealer :P

AMSOIL Synthetic Four-Stroke Oil

there's the link ;D

 

I've always used the Mobil 1 as well in My Polaris'. Down here it's readily available and comparitively inexpensive at Walmart.

 

Found Amsoil 0W40 at canadian tire last night $15 for it not bad lucky i got it the roads are to snow covered to go out to the dealer today

 

I'v had great results using Amsoil in fact I run it in everything I own

 

$15 a quart? I pay about $25 a gallon for Mobil 1. At least it's only a few quarts, it's not like diesel truck that drinks 3-4 gallons.

 

You sure wouldn't like the price of Motorex 2 stroke and four stroke oil recommended for KTMs! Our retail price was about $19 for the 4 stroke and almost $20 for the two stroke oil! I know Amsoil is great oil,but my pocket book now that I've retired says Mobil 1 too OPT
