Will let you know in the coming weeks on what is happening when i know, We do a 2 to 3 night trip and a good party at the same time, Most of our guys are bike riders and think we are a bunch of old men for buying these things and would not get caught dead with one, Mine is a 2005 XP and has no chance keeping up with you on the straight aways and neither will the rhinos at this time. ![]()
:shock: Little Much for at this time, So they are going for the msrp at this time, may wait for next year when the elections are over and the market hopefully stabilizes and maybe they will have the 70 hp sportsman engine by then in it.

I would assume they fixed that problem on the FI models, my friend had the same problem as well.
Any good synthetic is fine for Polaris engines and there drive lines, The only exception is the front end were there is a difference because of how the front differential is built, they use a special additive package for that oil because of the locker system it uses, If you run yours at well below 0 'f most of the time you should continue to use 0w-40w but above that 5w-40w is fine, For The transmission use synthetic transmission fluid and for the rear differential use 75w-90w synthetic gear oil, Now about oil, remember just because an oil says it is synthetic does not mean it is, in 1999 mobile one lost a lawsuit with Castrol over the fact that Castrol was claiming that there oil was true synthetic and they were using what they call group III mineral base stocks to make there oil and mobile one was using a ”PAO” which is poly-alpha-olefin for there base stock oils, PAO and diester base stocks called group 4 and group 5 are the only true synthetic base stock oils on the market, Some judge ruled that the word synthetic was a marketing term and mobile one lost the suit to Castrol, Sometime after that mobile one started using group 3 base oils because they could make there oil cheaper, there is really no problem with group III oils and they will work fine, any good oil made after 1990 will work fine, I use Royal purple for the Polaris and is available at pep boys and at auto zone, also remember commercial diesel oil is also rated to be used in gas engines as well, there additive package is fare better then what a gas engine oil uses, I use Rotella 5w-40 Synthetic in my truck and cars as well as my Honda generators because of there superior additive package, here is a list of the oils as follows. Remember what you want to use is up to you but in my case I did a lot of research to make up my mind up. It is what you feel comfortable with that counts.

Welcome to the site. I do alot of running around north of mojave california and will start our season in october, We are now down one RZR and could use a RZR-s to show up a rhino or two and would like to see a RZR-s in action. ![]()
Were was the teryx to pull you out. :?:
I have an account with west marine and i will see if they have anything, I looked at dyers rv.com and all they had was the stock sizes.
Hope it goes well and good luck.
I am curious, What was you out the door cost for it. :?:
as usual it continues to look good.... ![]()
You are welcome and let me know what happens. :?:
here is a number i have came up with working on your problem. they are an attorney that is working on this case. :!:
call 415-455-1326 ext 223 ask to speak with Harry. ![]()
What i have seen is they are taking each unit on a case by case determination, It seems that Polaris would have tried to not get involved at all if it was not from pressure from the PRC site but i am understanding that they may have stopped short on replacing the damaged engines, as fare as i am concerned they have a flaw and if it has destroyed the engine they should at least install a factory re-manufactured engine, I just feel that maybe PRC maybe trying not to push a little harder to some what save there reputation with Polaris corporate, Maybe at this point you should pay out off pocket to finish the rebuild and then go after them for the cost of the bottom end rebuild, There is definitely enough evidence to prove your point, collect all the info out there and have a lawyer submit paper work to Polaris, They may just want to settle then to go to court over it, I am not sure if small claims can go after a company in another state, also do a search on google on the issue, i found lots of other sites posting your problem, i think PRC from what i have read over there has gone as fare as they are willing to go with this issue, I will keep my eyes and ears open for anymore info. :? :? :?
I hope you had better luck then i did when i went back to my wal mart, It seems that they removed that item when i last seen them there.
:twisted:
It sure seems that Polaris has had there hit and misses on issues with problems, some people have had no problems and some have had problems, I can not think of another machine that has a work horse back ground and will play with the sport machines at the same time as well, The ranger XP's will haul a trailer and carry more then all of them, they are faster then a stock rhino but are more money in parts to make them go after a modified rhino, that is all starting to change in the last year, as for mine it has worked hard and has not given me any trouble, I even had to tow a few of the competitors rides back to base camp from time to time when they could not get back on there own, You have a nice ride and take care of it and it will take care of you.
