Polaris oils and filters are best for Polaris machines.

Royal Purple is a high grade oil.....If you're driving in warm weather only, should be OK.....IMO

wix makes the polaris filters, and the napa filters FYI. As for oil, look at the spec on the polaris bottles, and then find one the same spec. Polaris oil is not the holy grail of oil, I'd bet a cup of coffee it is bottled for Polaris by the lowest bidder.

I'm saying that if you use Polaris products then you don't have to wonder if it is the right oil or filter. Don't understand what everyones hang up is about using Polaris brand fluids and filters. Seems to be a disease with folks on this forum. You like their machines enough to buy them, so wtf???
I take my coffee black......

I see it as why pay more if you don't have to? I don't wonder what I am putting in my machine. I know that it meets polaris specs and I save a few bucks for putting more gas for riding my machine. I take my coffee with 2 cream.
