Coolant in the oil of your Polaris ATV typically indicates a problem with the engine's head gasket, a cracked cylinder head, or a damaged engine block, allowing coolant to leak into the oil system. This contamination can lead to severe engine damage if not addressed promptly, as it compromises lubrication and can cause the oil to lose its effectiveness. It's crucial to diagnose and repair the issue to prevent further damage and ensure optimal engine performance. Regular maintenance can help detect such issues before they escalate.
For a 1997 Polaris Explorer ATV, it is recommended to use 10W-40 weight motor oil. This viscosity provides optimal performance in various temperature conditions. Always check the owner's manual for specific recommendations and ensure the oil meets the necessary API specifications for your ATV.
Yes you can. Polaris does not manufacture oil. Polaris oil may very well be made by Valvoline or some other oil company. You can use any brand oil you want as long as it meets Polaris specifications.
it is simple, it is right below the head of of the atv. On a polaris scrambler it is right in front of the left rear fender
