Not all oils are created equal. Look for the recommended Polaris oil that is meant for your Xpedition's engine. It's often a high-grade oil. These oils are made with serious consideration of factors like your machine's engine type and operating conditions so that they will deliver optimal lubrication and protection.
The quality of your filters directly impacts your engine's health. Ensure the kit offers filters that meet or exceed Polaris's recommendations. This includes an oil filter designed to trap harmful contaminants within the oil, an air filter to prevent dirt and debris from entering the engine, and any additional fluid filters specific to your Xpedition model. Depending on your Polaris Xpedition model, your kit may include additional fluid filters, such as a fuel filter or coolant filter. Ensure the kit contains the necessary filters specific to your Xpedition model.
Opt for a kit that includes all the necessary fluids and filters for a complete oil change service. This saves you time and hassle by ensuring you have everything on hand to get the job done right. Consider the availability of the filters and all that you'll need if you prefer to do your maintenance; choose a kit readily available for purchase online or at local stores.
As mentioned, your Polaris Xpedition's engine requires specific oil viscosity grades for optimal lubrication depending on your climate. Opt for a filter or fluid kit that includes the recommended oil grade for your region to ensure proper engine protection. You can choose between synthetic or conventional oil types. Synthetic oil offers superior performance and protection compared to traditional oil. Consider the riding you do and the climate to determine if a synthetic oil kit is the best choice for your needs.
