I'm just wondering why your worried about using the expensive stuff. I'm guessing your only gonna change it once maybe twice per year. So if it only takes a couple qts your only talking aobut saving maybe $10 per year. Might as well run the genuine polaris oil.

no real reason, just hard to make to the dealor during work hours, and every little bit counts, no need in throwing money away when something a little cheaper will provide the same protection/function,,,crap, i'm starting to sound like my parents!!! LOL,,,later

Just go down to Advance Auto or something and get their Valvoline 80-90wt gear oil (or any name brand you like). As for motor oil...I just use Havoline 10w-40
