Quoted directly from the owners manual:


The following outboard oils are recommended
for use in your Evinrude E-TEC outboard:

? Evinrude/Johnson XD100;
? Evinrude/Johnson XD50?; or
? Evinrude/Johnson XD30?.

Evinrude/Johnson brand oils are formulated
to give best engine performance while controlling
piston and combustion chamber deposits,
providing superior lubrication, and
ensuring maximum spark plug life.
Evinrude/Johnson XD100 oil is preferred
for your Evinrude E-TEC outboard. It is formulated
with special additives for cleaner
burning and lower consumption. This synthetic
blend oil also provides superior lubrication
and maintains top performance.
For added protection and cost reduction, an
authorized dealer can program your Evinrude
E-TEC outboard EMM to cut normal oil consumption
in half using Evinrude/Johnson
XD100 as compared to using a conventional
oil. Only an authorized Evinrude dealer
can program your outboard for this benefit.
If Evinrude/Johnson brand oils are not available,
you must use an oil that meets NMMA
TC-W3RL certification standards.
IMPORTANT: If your EMM has been programmed
for Evinrude/Johnson XD100,
DO NOT use any other oil unless in an emergency.
If Evinrude/Johnson XD100 is temporarily
unavailable, a one-time-only use of an
oil that meets NMMA TC-W3RL certification
standards is allowed. If you discontinue using
Evinrude/Johnson XD100, you MUST first return
to your Dealer to have the EMM reprogrammed
back to the original factory setting.
IMPORTANT: Failure to follow oil specifications
could void the engine warranty if a lubrication-
related failure occurs.


I have a 2007 60hp evinrude etec 2stroke...my manual says to use those oils but says the xd100 is what I should be using..but the oil that is in the motor currently looks bluish green...and the xd100 looks to be yellowish normal oil color.. Is it ok to mix the two or should I buy the type that's in it. But the manual says 100xd..so should I drain completely and put in the xd100?

Re: Evinrude E-Tec Oil, what to use...

you do not say how your motor is programed.if your motor is set for xd-50 and your using xd-100 all your doing is giving the motor extra protection.at xd-50 you can use any good tcw3 oil .now at the xd-100 setting you motor is specifically designed to use xd-100 oil and nothining else.at the xd-100 setting the oil usage is drastically cut down and xd-100 is specifically formulated for etec for this one purpose as I understand it.ive looked at my xd-100 jug and no weres on it will you see the tcw3 rating as its specially formulated for brp for xd-100 setting .that being said brp told me the xd-100 at the xd-50 setting is the absolute best of both worlds (usage and protection).hope I havnt confused this anymore .:)in my manual xd -30 is not even mentioned. 2011 60 hp etec.
