How often should you change your RANGER's oil?
It can vary by use and model, but a good rule of thumb is to change your GENERAL's oil and filter every 100 hours, six months or 500 miles — whichever comes first. Refer to your vehicle's maintenance schedule, found under "My Garage", in your Polaris Account.
PRO TIP
Order an oil change kit. It includes the right amount of oil for your vehicle, plus the oil filter. Remember, oil has a long shelf life, up to 5 years, so keep an extra kit on hand for your next oil change.

Why Choose Polaris PS-4 Engine Oil
Compared to other leading oil brands, Polaris Engineered PS-4 oil has been proven to last much longer. The higher the oxidation stability, the longer the oil life. Our Polaris propriety additive system resists negative effects of oil oxidation longer than leading aftermarket and automotive engine oils.


For extreme conditions, or if you drive your vehicle particularly hard, consider PS-4 Extreme.
