OIL REQUIREMENTS
OILING SYSTEM
Evinrude/Johnson Brand Oils
If the “LOW OIL” warning light illuminates, you have a lim-
ited amount of time of normal operation before running out
of oil. Refill the oil tank with approved oil as soon as pos-
sible.
Evinrude/Johnson outboard oils are formulated to give
best engine performance while controlling piston and com-
bustion chamber deposits, providing superior lubrication,
and ensuring maximum spark plug life.
Always “top off” your oil tank prior to prolonged usage or
long trips.
The following outboard oils are recommended for use in
New outboards are programmed to use additional oil dur-
ing the first two hours of operation above 2000 RPM.
your Evinrude E-TEC outboard:
•
•
•
Evinrude/Johnson XD100;
Evinrude/Johnson XD50; or
Evinrude/Johnson XD30.
NOTICE
When operating in conditions under
(32°F), Evinrude/Johnson XD100 oil must be
0°C
used.
Evinrude/Johnson XD100 Oil
If the oil hose is disconnected for any reason, seal it to pre-
vent spillage. Install a cap on the hose fitting to prevent
contamination.
Evinrude/Johnson XD100 oil is preferred for your
Evinrude E-TEC outboard. This synthetic formula oil pro-
vides uncompromised lubrication and superior perfor-
mance, even in extreme conditions—especially in cold
temperatures down to -17°C (0°F).
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 16.
If requested, an authorized dealer can program 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 authorized Evinrude
dealer can program your outboard for this optional
benefit. Significant reduction of oil consumption is not
avaialble on all models.
IMPORTANT: If your EMM has been programmed for
Evinrude/Johnson XD100, DO NOT use any other oil un-
less in an emergency. If Evinrude/Johnson XD100 is tem-
porarily unavailable, a one-time-only use of an oil that
meets NMMA TC-W3 certification standards is allowed. If
you discontinue using Evinrude/Johnson XD100, you
MUST first return to your Dealer to have the EMM repro-
grammed back to the original factory setting.
Other Oils
Install the oil tank following the instructions provided with
the unit.
If Evinrude/Johnson brand oils are not available, you must
use an oil that meets NMMA TC-W3 certification stan-
dards.
IMPORTANT: Consider the installation location of the oil
tank carefully. The oil tank is vented to the atmosphere. To
avoid serious powerhead damage, be sure the oil tank is
installed in a location that does not allow constant expo-
sure to sunlight, rain, bilge water, or spray. Periodically in-
spect the oil tank for evidence of water.
IMPORTANT: Failure to follow oil specifications could
void the engine warranty if a lubrication-related failure oc-
curs.
