Pirate here,
Purchased a quart of 5W50 synthetic as a spare...it as $21.99. Bought an oil filter and that was $19.99.
Holy cow so an oil change kit is something like $75???
Gotta be a less expensive way to go... So did some investigating, and talked with my guy a the NAPA store.
Here's what I found:
This oil is every bit as good as Polaris oil or maybe a little better.
For the month of June 2023 you can buy it for $7.39 a quart or $44.24 for a case of six quarts.
I do recommend keeping the half quart bottle that comes with a Polaris oil change kit.
If it's too late to keep one, then have three quarts on hand and pour half of one into one of the ones you already poured in the motor.
You'll have the half quart for the next oil change.
I took a new Polaris oil filter with me to NAPA (I still have one Polaris oil change kit.)
NAPA guy looked it up, it's actually a very common oil filter.
This is a NAPA Gold, which I was told is made by WIX.
The price is $11.69
Somewhere in my RZR or General years I purchased a 10-pak of the copper compression washers. I recall for about a buck a piece.
So an oil change kit would be $18.48 for oil, $11.69 for the filter and $1 for a new copper washer.
That's $31.17 plus tax. If you happen to be like me and have a AAA card, that gets you an extra discount!
One heck of a lot less than a Polaris oil change kit!!
Just thought I'd pass along what I'm going to be doing in the future!
