Two free quarts of oil

[jawshxpedition740]

I got a letter from Polaris with 2 free quarts of oil. I wonder why this came out. Are they burning oil? Mine has 1,600 miles and it hasn't been burning any oil.

Same here, what's up with that?

I don't know I was hoping someone could shed some light on it. nobody gives you free stuff unless there is an issue.

I got mine too. My guess is they are trying to get us to change oil more often to reduce engine failures. The letter says to change oil more often with "prolonged high speed cruising". I know they are starting to see engine failures, especially on units that have not had the lower RPM(cruiser) clutching installed that see a lot of high RPM use. I have friends who work at Polaris who warned me to do engine oil changes more often than 50hrs. So I do mine every 35 - 40 hrs. When this engine was designed it was not intended to see 8000+ RPM's for extended periods. Polaris has tried to modify it to do that - time will tell if it worked.

I don't know why anyone buys these with all the crazy theories, lol. They're giving out 2 free quarts to get more people to use their oil.
