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

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

IMPORTANT: Failure to  follow oil specifica-
tions could void the engine warranty if a lubri-
cation-related failure occurs.
