what is the best type of oil for a 2000 evinrude 225hp ficht ram

[newguy2525]

Is it ok to use xd100 in a evinrude 225hp ficht ram motor or should I use something else? New boater and see/hear lots of opinions on this topic, I'm a little confused. Any guidance would be helpful. Thanks.

yes, XD100 is the very best you can use in a ficht . its incorporates everything what the direct injected evinrude needs and features the possibility of ultra low oil supply you can set an ETEC for . since its very expensive at least in europe i used XD50 which is also a special brand for the direct injected evinrudes .

use XD50 or XD100 , XD100 is superior but not fully needed on a ficht.

Thanks, also, I just bought the boat and don't know the type of oil that was being used and no way to find out, is it ok to mix (what was in there was running low) and do I have to decarb(?) I read that in a another thread.

i would just drain the rest of the oil and fill up with new XD50 or XD100. as long the engine runs fine do not decarb and , especially on a ficht, do not screw on it, just run. the XD50 and XD100 has a carb guard inside. look at the exhaust hub - when sooted up it should be shiny after few operating hours.

of course never ever come up with the idea to premix the oil with fuel, its on a direct injected evinrude not even in emergency an option.
