Crankcase / Main Bearing Recirculation
The movement of oil through the main bearings is
controlled by internal passages, external fittings
and hoses, and check valves.
Lower to upper main bearing oil flow:
•
Lower main bearing cavity to internal crankcase
passage to external fitting, external hoses with
in-line check valve to external fitting at upper
main bearing, and into upper main bearing
through internal crankcase passage.
•
Internal crankcase passage to external fitting in
crankcase cover at upper main bearing, hose
routed to reed plate fitting. This circuit vents the
upper main bearing cavity to promote oil flow.
Refer to the Oil Recirculation Diagrams on
p. 164.
Oil Control Settings
Oil Injection Rate
EMM programming controls the rate of oil injection
based on engine RPM. This rate can be adjusted
for the type of oil being used, and also for power-
head break-in. Use
Evinrude Diagnostics software
to access these features.
The Set Oil Type option controls the injection rate
for the oil being used and typical operating condi-
tions.
The TC-W3 oil type setting is the standard setting
for all outboards. Set TC-W3 for:
•
Operation with all TC-W3 outboard oils includ-
ing
XD30, XD50, or XD100 .
•
Applications requiring maximum lubrication.
•
Extreme applications (commercial or harsh con-
ditions, racing or other high performance opera-
tion).
•
Use this setting with XD100 outboard oil in
extreme applications
The XD100 setting provides an option to run the
outboard at a reduced oil injection rate. This set-
ting REQUIRES the use of
Evinrude XD100 out-
board lubricant and is not recommended for all
applications.
IMPORTANT:
The XD100 setting is not available
on all models.
Use the XD100 setting for:
•
Conventional use (runabouts, cruisers)

NOTICE
Running an Evinrude E-TEC outboard on
other grades of oil while set to the XD100 oil
ratio will result in increased engine wear and
shortened outboard life.
