Re: Evinrude E-Tec Oil
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.
