Was at dealer today looking at some RZR's. They had just finished sales training on new 2024. They informed mee Hours and miles between Maintenance are doubled in fluid changes. They are now at 50 hrs. My 2018 General was every 100 hrs. At 50 hrs with my wife and Ranch work I would be doing maintenance more than riding. Seems like overkill and I thought 100 hours was overkill. I Remember my 1990 300 2 stroke Trail Boss Quad, gas it, fill reservoir Once in a while and, and drive like hell.

It's been 50 hours for oil changes on rzrs. I'm pretty sure they said that has been doubled on the 24 xp1k, so that would be 100 hrs. Wouldn't be the first time a dealership salesman didn't know what they were talking about. I always change all my fluids earlier than recommend tho.

Your 2 stroke did not have a crankcase. Lube was in gas. Experience tells me to never go over the 50 hours, that is a lot of riding time and many miles. Out engines work very hard for the small size. They need good clean oil. 100 hours is way to much in my view.

Well of course there was no crankcase. But it had a Reservior because they were oil injection. I think Yamaha came up with oil injection in snowmobiles back in the 70's. At least that is where I first saw it.

I think the useage has a lot to do with it. Riding hard in Dunes requires mouch more from engine than doing ranch chores, checking cattle, or easy trail rides. I think an XP Pro is designed more for that than an XP. We put Hours on much faster than miles at 8 to 10 miles an hour , all day long. Oil changes One every Two weeks sucks and perhaps that is why MT Pockets is a good forum identifier.

Just have the oil changed each time it's at the dealership for recall work and you should be fine.

I think if you look in the book it has hours and kms/miles. I change my fluids every 1000 km. Which for me is sooner then the 25 hours

Seriously though, My '15 XP1000 was darn near bullet proof with a few minor mods. My '21 Turbo S that I traded in the '15 for, not so much.

I believe the book calls for 50 hour intervals. I've always done all fluids at the 25 hour mark.

changing oil every 50hrs is a good thing, clean oil happy motor. remember these engines only hold 2.5 qts and the RPMs are running 5000-8000k most times so oil breaks down faster.

I change every fluid at 25 hours so I don’t see the issue

With my General that would be Once a week. Might as well go back to horseback. It wouldnt be so bad if a person had access to the Filter. 18" screwdriver and hammer is the best to get it out. Engineer needs bitch slapped.

Takes like 30 min it’s not that big of a deal. And if I was doing nice east driving I’d go 50 hours. Even at 25 that’s about every other month for me

Regardless of what the dealer or OEM recommends, I follow my own experience. They (Polaris and dealer) have ulterior motives with service recommendations other than protection of the customers equipment. They want to drive more business back into their dealers. You can bet that training had a lot to do with up-selling more oil changes.

And selling Polaris Fluids and Filters.

A lot of manufacturers are going to longer intervals and I think it’s so they can sell you big ticket items like motors because the oil isn’t getting changed enough. Book on 2023 Range Rover says to change the oil every 20k miles. No way I’m waiting that long.

Don’t forget, air filter, maintenance.
Dirty air filter, dirty oil.

If you buy a Range Rover you got bigger problems than oil, they have a very high failure rate and very expensive to service. My dental hygienist/slum lord got one, a 2021 and it been nothing but problems and the closest dealer is some 250 miles away.

My first vehicle was a 1959 International Travel All. Didn,t change the Oil. Just added a quart evey time gas went in. I did try to change it twice and when I found it was just as dirty after running it for 10 minute then it was before I changed it I gave up. Like I said it used enough oil I wasnt afraid of viscosity not being bad. 😂

This is my 3rd one never had any issues out of them honestly. They are more expensive to service for sure but it is a nice ride.
