FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
No dealer-scheduled maintenance for the first three years of normal recreational use? Really?
•
Yes! Bombardier Motor Corporation of America knows you want to spend your time on the
water, not servicing your Evinrude E-TEC outboard. There are no valves to adjust, belts to
service, chains to replace, or oil to change. We do recommend pre-launch inspections of
your outboard at each use and at regular intervals. Salt water applications require minimal
additional inspections and lubrication.
What fuel octane is recommended for my Evinrude E-TEC outboard?
•
Evinrude E-TEC outboards require a minimum octane of 87 (U.S.). Use of higher octane fu-
els is not harmful, but also not necessary.
What kind of oil does my Evinrude E-TEC outboard require?
•
Any TC-W3RL oil may be used. The outboard can be programmed by your Dealer to run on
Evinrude/Johnson XD100 oil for lower oil consumption and reduced operating cost. Refer to
Filling the Oil Tank on page 15; see also Oil Requirements on page 16.
Do I need to mix oil into my fuel?
• No. Evinrude E-TEC outboards do not require any mixing of oil and fuel.
Where should I take my Evinrude E-TEC outboard for service?
•
For repairs covered under warranty, you must take your Evinrude E-TEC outboard to an au-
thorized dealer. Bombardier Motor Corporation of America-approved dealers and distribu-
tors have received the necessary training to properly service your outboard. Contact
Bombardier Motor Corporation of America for an authorized Evinrude E-TEC dealer near
you.
Can I order replacement parts and accessories for my Evinrude E-TEC outboard?
•
Yes. When replacement parts are required, use Evinrude/Johnson Genuine Parts or parts
with equivalent characteristics, including type, strength, and material. Using substandard
parts could result in injury or product malfunction. Your dealer can order the parts and ac-
cessories you desire.
Do I need to complete any paperwork when I move or sell my Evinrude E-TEC outboard?
•
Yes. In order to maintain contact with you or the new Evinrude E-TEC owner, Bombardier
Motor Corporation of America requests you complete the form outlining Change of Address
/
Change of Ownership on page 53. This will ensure you or the new owner is made aware
of any product announcements and keep the warranty coverage up-to-date.
What do I need to do before storing my Evinrude E-TEC outboard for the winter?
•
Winterization is minimal. Refer to Storage on page 36 for step-by-step instructions to store
your Evinrude E-TEC outboard for the off-season.
