OIL REQUIREMENTS
Recommended Lubricants
Evinrude/Johnson XD100, XD50, or XD30 out-
board oils are recommended for use in Evinrude
E-TEC outboards. If these oils are not available,
you must use a TC-W3 certified oil.
Evinrude/Johnson XD100 outboard oil is highly
recommended for all conditions and applications.
Engine Lubricant Below 32°F (0°C)
If the outboard will be operated in temperatures
below freezing (32°F, 0°C), use Evinrude/Johnson
XD100.
LOW OIL Warning Test
IMPORTANT: For new outboards, test low oil
warning before filling oil tank.
Turn key switch to ON. The engine monitor warn-
ing display should show “LOW OIL.”
Add enough oil to raise level to at least one-quar-
ter capacity.
The “LOW OIL” warning should not display.
IMPORTANT: Prime the oil system on Evinrude
E-TEC 15 – 90 HP models to turn OFF the “LOW
OIL” warning. Refer to 15 – 90 HP Models on
p. 82.
Failure to follow these recommen-
dations could void the outboard warranty if a
lubrication-related failure occurs.
Oil Injection Rate
The Engine Management Module (EMM) controls
the oil injection rate based on engine RPM. This
rate can be adjusted for the type of oil being used,
and also for powerhead break-in. Use Evinrude
Diagnostics software to access these features.
The Set Oil Type option controls the injection rate
for the oil being used and typical operating condi-
tions.
The TC-W3 oil type setting is the standard setting
for all outboards. Set TC-W3 for:
• Operation with all TC-W3 outboard oils includ-
ing XD30, XD50, or XD100.
• Applications requiring maximum lubrication.
• Extreme applications (commercial or harsh con-
ditions, racing or other high performance opera-
tion).
• Use this setting with XD100 outboard oil in
extreme applications
The XD100 setting provides an option to run the
outboard at a reduced oil injection rate. This set-
ting REQUIRES the use of Evinrude XD100 out-
board lubricant and is not recommended for all
applications.
IMPORTANT: The XD100 setting is not avail-
able on all models.
Use the XD100 setting for:
• Conventional use (runabouts, cruisers)
• Moderate applications
Running an Evinrude E-TEC out-
board on other grades of oil while set to the
XD100 oil ratio will result in increased engine
wear and shortened outboard life.
