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 EMM
for the exclusive use of Evinrude/Johnson
XD100. Only an authorized Evinrude deal-
er can program your outboard for this op-
tional benefit.
Oil consumption is reduced if the outboard is
programmed for exclusive use of Evinrude/
Johnson XD100 as compared to using a con-
ventional oil.

grammed for Evinrude/Johnson XD100,
