Engine Oil Level
The twin cylinder engine is a wet-sump engine, meaning the oil
is contained in the bottom of the crankcase. To check the oil
level follow the procedure listed below:
1. Position vehicle on a level surface.
2. Place the transmission in Park (P).
3. Be sure the machine has sat for awhile before removing the
dipstick.
IMPORTANT: Do not run the machine and then check
the dipstick.
4. Locate the engine oil dipstick:
• RZR / RZR S: Remove both seats and the rear service
panel to access the dipstick.
• RZR 4: Remove the right rear passenger seat to access
the dipstick.
5. Stop engine and lift the lever lock. Remove dipstick and
wipe dry with a clean cloth.
6. Reinstall the dipstick completely, but do not lock it.
NOTE: Make certain the dipstick is inserted all the
way into the filler tube to keep the angle and depth of
dipstick consistent.
7. Remove dipstick and check to see that the oil level is in the
SAFE range. Add oil as indicated by the level on the
dipstick. Do not overfill (see NOTE below!).
NOTE: Due to the dipstick entry angle into the
crankcase, the oil level will read higher on the
bottom side of the dipstick. Proper level indication is
determined on the upper surface of the dipstick as it
is being removed, regardless of the level marks
being on top or on bottom (see the next illustration).
NOTE: A rising oil level between checks in cool
weather driving can indicate contaminants such as
gas or moisture collecting in the crankcase. If the oil
level is over the full mark, change the oil
immediately.
8. Reinstall the dipstick and lock the lever.
