So I didn't like the fact that Polaris saw fit that in order to check your oil level, you had to have a funky little wrench you could only turn so far and forget about using your fingers on the shines slick chrome. What's an owner to do? Well for one I noticed that there were a number of ribs sticking out to help grip the stick, and though I wasn't born with a wrench in my hand I do notice that the number appeared to corelate to a 32 point socket. So after trying 2 I found that a 1 1/8 inch 32 point socket fills the bill nicely and it so happens that Lowes sell them with a cute little hanger that if you don't remove doubles as a key to turn the socket.b A $5 fix.
