This weekend I tipped my Nytro on its right side (throttle side) while making a sharp turn on hard packed snow. It was probably on its side for less than 30 seconds. Is there anything I should be worried about. I didn't take the side panels off to see if there was any oil leaking out, but it sat overnight and there was no oil on the ground under the sled in the morning. It took a bit to get it started after it tipped, but ran fine and I had to drive it about a mile after it was tipped. I plan on taking the side panel off before I drive it again to see if I see any oil and also check the oil level. I have read some posts where people have tipped it on the "left" side. I'm assuming this means the clutch side?
Thanks, just want to make sure everything is OK before I drive it again so I don't do any engine damage.
 
You flipped it the best way, nothing to worry about.

If you flip it to the left it can get oil into the air box, I flipped mine like 4-5 times today on the left side no real issues, i just flip it back as fast as i can and let it sit for a few seconds then away i go.
 
When you roll it and loose some oil, the oil light will come on. Watch for it, shut the machine off and let the oil settle back in the tank. When you start it up the oil light should come off. Roll over valve is the ticket.
