Het guys... bought this machine brand new, in July 2019. Its a 2019 Polaris Ranger Crew 1000. I changed the factory fill at 20 hours as recommended by the Polaris Dealer, refilled with Polaris 5w50 engine oil, and a genuine Polaris Oil Filter. Changed the oil again, 30 hours later, again with the same Polaris genuine OEM oil & filter.
I use the machine in Northern Michigan. In the summer it is very sandy and dusty. Probably average outdoor temperature of 70F. In the winter, it can be as cold as -30F or +30F. The machine has a heater and enclosed cab, so I do actually use it enough in the winter. I don't race it, but it does operate at very high RPM's. Its the CREW (6 seater) or as I like to call it, the school bus. lol. I usually cruise around 30-40mph, 5-6,500 RPMS (thats normal for these but seems so high doesnt it?!).
Now that I have 1000+ miles on it, and 80 hours, it is due for its 3rd oil change. I just purchased a Wix XP oil filter for it, and would like to steer away from the expensive Polaris oil, but am lost as to what oil I should use?? Given the info above, what is recommended?
