Evinrude/Johnson XD100 Oil
If the oil hose is disconnected for any reason,
seal it to prevent spillage. Install a cap on the
hose fitting to prevent contamination.
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 15.
Evinrude/Johnson XD100 oil is preferred
for your Evinrude E-TEC outboard. This
synthetic formula oil provides uncompro-
mised lubrication and superior performance,
even in extreme conditions—especially in
cold temperatures down to 0°F (-17°C).
If requested, an authorized dealer can pro-
gram your Evinrude E-TEC outboard for the
exclusive use of Evinrude/Johnson XD100. If
the outboard is programmed for exclusive
use of Evinrude/Johnson XD100, oil con-
sumption can be reduced.. Only an autho-
rized Evinrude dealer can program your
outboard for this optional benefit. Signifi-
cant reduction of oil consumption is not ava-
ialble on all models.
IMPORTANT: If your EMM has been pro-
grammed for Evinrude/Johnson XD100,
DO NOT use any other oil unless in an emer-
gency. If Evinrude/Johnson XD100 is tempo-
rarily unavailable, a one-time-only use of an
oil that meets NMMA TC-W3 certification
standards is allowed. If you discontinue using

powerhead damage, be sure the oil tank is in-
stalled in a location that does not allow con-
stant exposure to sunlight, rain, bilge water, or

If Evinrude/Johnson brand oils are not avail-
able, you must use an oil that meets NMMA
TC-W3 certification standards.
IMPORTANT: Failure to follow oil specifica-
tions could void the engine warranty if a lubri-
cation-related failure occurs.
