Polaris Ranger oil change question

[SwampRanger]

I refuse to pay 50 bucks again for 2.5 quarts of oil and a filter, then do the labor myself....what brand of oil do you all use and were do you get your filters?

I've heard a "rumor" that Polaris claims there is an "additive" in thier oil for the transmission?

Thanks in advance!

Mobile 1 0-40. Filter from napa.

[SwampRanger]

The book calls for 5 w 50.....why the o-40?

I'd stay away from Fram.

As far as oil goes, go with your favorite synthetic in 5w-50. Amsoil is great but almost as expensive as the Polaris brand.

I use Amsoil, but it's not cheap.

[SwampRanger]

thanks for all the great info!

Rotella T6 is Jaso approved (5w40)...or amsoil has 5w50.

Ran a wix 51356 or 51358 oil filter.

[RWB]

Rotella T and that's what the guys at 3P down here said they use

I play their game and use their recommended oil and filter. I buy their kit for $30 and do it myself.
