Using Your Evinrude E-TEC Outboard
Oil and Fuel
Oil Requirements
Evinrude Brand Oils
Evinrude outboard oils are formulated to give
best engine performance while controlling
piston and combustion chamber deposits,
providing superior lubrication, and ensuring
maximum spark plug life.
The following outboard oils are recommended
for use in your Evinrude E-TEC outboard:
• Evinrude XD100;
• Evinrude XD50; or
• Evinrude XD30.
Evinrude XD100 Oil
Evinrude XD100 oil is preferred for your
Evinrude E-TEC outboard. This synthetic
formula oil provides uncompromised lubrica-
tion and superior performance, even in ex-
treme conditions—especially in cold
temperatures down to 0°F (-17°C).
If requested, an authorized dealer can pro-
gram your Evinrude E-TEC outboard EMM for
the exclusive use of Evinrude XD100. Only
an authorized Evinrude dealer can pro-
gram your outboard for this optional ben-
efit. Oil consumption is reduced if the
outboard is programmed for exclusive use of
Evinrude XD100 as compared to using a con-
ventional oil. The XD100 oil setting is not
available on all models.
IMPORTANT: If your EMM has been pro-
grammed for Evinrude XD100, DO NOT use
any other oil unless in an emergency. If Evin-
rude XD100 is temporarily unavailable, a
one-time-only use of an oil that meets
NMMA TC-W3 certification standards is al-
lowed. If you discontinue using Evinrude
XD100, you MUST first return to your Dealer
to have the EMM reprogrammed back to the
original factory setting.
Other Oils
If Evinrude brand oils are not available, you
must use an oil that meets NMMA TC-W3 cer-
tification standards.
Failure to follow oil specifications could void
the engine warranty if a lubrication-related
failure occurs.
Oiling System information
You must use an oil tank equipped with a filter
and an oil supply hose. The oil system must
be purged if air is in the oil supply hose. Refer
to Priming the Oil System on page 17.
Install the oil tank following the instructions
provided with the unit.
The oiling system must be primed on new out-
boards. Refer to Priming the Oil System on
page 17.
NOTICE
When operating in conditions under 32°F
(0°C), Evinrude XD100 oil must be used.
NOTICE
Consider the installation location of the
oil tank carefully. The oil tank is vented
to the atmosphere. To avoid serious
powerhead damage, be sure the oil tank
is installed in a location that does not
allow constant exposure to sunlight,
rain, bilge water, or spray. Periodically
inspect the oil tank for evidence of water.
