OIL
Evinrude/Johnson XD25 Formula outboard oil
is recommended for your outboard. It contains a
richer additive package than other TC-W3 oils, min-
imizing carbon build-up and deposits on pistons
and bearing surfaces. It provides 25% greater de-
tergency than minimum TC-W3 requirements.
Evinrude/Johnson brand oils are formulated to give
best engine performance while controlling piston
and combustion chamber deposits, providing supe-
rior lubrication and ensuring maximum spark plug
life.
If
Evinrude/Johnson
XD25 Formula outboard oil is
not available, you must use an NMMA-certified TC-
W3 oil such as
Evinrude/Johnson
direct injection oil
or
Evinrude
biodegradable outboard oil.
IMPORTANT: Failure to follow this recommenda-
tion could void the engine warranty if a lubrication-
related failure occurs.
ADDITIVES
IMPORTANT: Only use fuel additives approved by
Bombardier for your outboard. Use of other fuel ad-
ditives can result in poor performance or engine
damage.
Evinrude/Johnson 2+4 fuel conditioner will help
prevent gum and varnish deposits from forming in
fuel system components and will remove moisture
from the fuel system. It can be used continuously
and should be used during any period when your
engine is not being operated on a regular basis. Its
use will reduce spark plug fouling, fuel system icing,
and fuel system component deterioration.
FUEL/OIL RATIO
New Engine
During break-in, you must use a 25:1 (4% oil) fuel/
oil ratio in your fuel tank. Refer to Break-In (10
Hours).
Normal Operation
After break-in, the engine must be operated at a
50:1 (2% oil) fuel/oil ratio.
High Performance
During high performance operation you must use a
25:1 (4% oil) fuel/oil ratio in your fuel tank.
MIXING FUEL AND OIL
Use the following chart and these guidelines to mix
oil with the engine’s fuel.
Portable Tank
Above and below 32° F (0°C), add one gallon of fu-
el. Pour in required amount of oil. Add remaining fu-
el. Install filler cap and tip tank gently to distribute
oil.
Permanently Installed Tank
Above 32° F (0° C), pour oil slowly with the fuel as
tank is filled. Below 32° F (0° C), add one gallon of
fuel to a separate container. Pour in required
amount of oil. Install filler cap and tip container gen-
tly to distribute oil. Slowly pour oil/fuel mixture into
tank with fuel as tank is filled.
