What kind of oil do you use in Polaris?
I need to change mine at 15 hrs now and was planing on using Mobil 1 5w-50 rally oil?I would think that this factory fill oil for most of the top of the line car manufactures would be good enough for Polaris ? opcorn: They can’t force you to use their oil.

Which is better Rotella T or Castrol 5w50?

Polaris just like many others wants more customer dollars.. They dont make coolant, or oil, or any other fluid.. but by putting there name on someone elses product and charging you $26.00 for two quarts of oil or $10-14 for a oil filter.. tehres a HUGE profit margin to be made.. I use Mobil 1 in my car & truck, it works fine in my Ranger also.

How much zinc is in a bottle of Polaris oil?
Polaris has NO printed approval ratings on the bottle of oil. (API, ASE, CJ4, and a few others). Polaris purposely sell blank bottles of all lubricants. That way you can’t compare ratings and buy a different brand. Polaris motors need 8-15 PPM of zinc. An oil analysis will show if the oil is the proper type. That’s all that matters.
