Using Your Evinrude E-TEC Outboard
Filling the Oil Tank
Release rear engine cover latch by pulling the
handle back and turning downward.
Pull up on the tilt handle to release the engine
cover seal on the engine cover.
Release the hook from its catch in the front
and remove the engine cover to access the oil
tank.
Remove the filler cap and fill the tank with the
recommended outboard lubricant, as speci-
fied in Oil Requirements on page 19.
Replace the filler cap and tighten securely.
Reinstall the engine cover.
IMPORTANT: The oil tank capacity is 1.5
quarts (1.4 liters).
PRIMING THE OIL SYSTEM
The oiling system MUST be
primed to avoid engine damage from a
lack of lubrication.
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 outboard is laid down for transportation
or storage.
Prime the oiling system by performing winter-
ization. Refer to Long-Term Storage (Win-
terization) on page 58.
