Fogging the Engine
Fogging the engine with Polaris fogging oil or 1-1.5 floz (30-44 ml) engine oil is one of the most important storage steps a rider can do to make sure the internal parts of the engine do not rust and corrode during the storage season.
To fog the engine, do the following:
-
Remove the spark plugs from the engine.
-
Liberally spray fogging oil or pour 1-1.5 floz (30-44 ml) of engine oil into each spark plug hole. If possible, have an assistant slowly pull on the recoil rope to rotate the engine while adding the oil to each cylinder.
-
Install the spark plugs and torque to specification.
NOTICEDo not install new spark plugs after fogging the cylinders. Fogging oil prevents the formation of rust/corrosion by sticking to the internal engine components – including the spark plug electrodes. Replace these spark plugs the following season after all of the fogging oil has been burned out of the engine.
