Oil and Fuel
If a “LOW OIL” warning occurs, you have a
limited amount of time of normal operation be-
fore running out of oil. Refill the oil tank with
approved oil as soon as possible.
Refer to Engine Monitoring on page 34.
Check the oil tank level frequently. Always
“top off” your oil tank prior to prolonged usage
or long trips.
New outboards are programmed to use addi-
tional oil during the first two hours of operation
above 2000 RPM.
Always keep an extra supply of outboard oil in
the boat. Refer to Oil Requirements on page
16.
If you run the oil tank empty, you MUST refill
the oil tank and prime the oil system before
using the engine. Refer to Filling the Oil
Tank on page 17 and Priming the Oil Sys-
tem on page 17.
If the oil hose is disconnected for any reason,
seal it to prevent spillage. Install a cap on the
hose fitting to prevent contamination.
Filling the Oil Tank
Remove the filler cap and fill the tank with rec-
ommended outboard lubricant, as specified in
Oil Requirements on page 16. Replace the
filler cap and tighten securely. If you run the
tank empty, you MUST prime the oil system
before using the engine.
Priming the Oil System
Prime the oiling system to remove air from the
system before operating the outboard if:
• The outboard is new – Dealer must prime
the oiling system using Evinrude Diagnostic
software;
• The oil tank is emptied or outboard is run out
of oil;
• The oil supply hose is disconnected; or
• The outboard is laid down for transportation
or storage.
Oil Hose Priming (All Models)
1) Squeeze the oil primer bulb until a steady
stream of oil comes from the supply hose.
2) Connect oil supply hose to the oil inlet fit-
ting. Secure with the small clamp (13.8
mm) from owner’s kit.
3) Squeeze oil primer bulb again until no air
bubbles appear in the individual oil lines
entering the crankcase. The oil supply
hose connection must be airtight.
NOTICE
The oiling system MUST be primed to
avoid engine damage from a lack of
lubrication.
