OIL REQUIREMENTS
Evinrude/Johnson Brand Oils
Evinrude/Johnson outboard oils are formulat-
ed to give best engine performance while con-
trolling piston and combustion chamber
deposits, providing superior lubrication, and
ensuring maximum spark plug life.
The following outboard oils are recommended
for use in your Evinrude E-TEC outboard:
• Evinrude/Johnson XD100;
• Evinrude/Johnson XD50; or
• Evinrude/Johnson XD30.
Evinrude/Johnson XD100 Oil
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 conventional oil. The XD100 oil set-
ting is not available 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
oil that meets NMMA TC-W3 certification
standards is allowed. If you discontinue using
Evinrude/Johnson XD100, you MUST first re-
turn to your Dealer to have the EMM repro-
grammed back to the original factory setting.
Other Oils
If Evinrude/Johnson brand oils are not avail-
able, you must use an oil that meets NMMA
TC-W3 certification standards.
Failure to follow oil specifications could void
the engine warranty if a lubrication-related
failure occurs.
OILING SYSTEM INFORMATION
IMPORTANT: The oiling system must be
primed on new outboards. Refer to Priming
the Oil System on page 20.
If a “LOW OIL” warning occurs, you have a
limited amount of time of normal operation be-
fore running out of oil. Refill the oil tank with
approved oil as soon as possible.
Refer to Engine Monitoring on page 43.
Check the oil tank level frequently. Always
“top off” your oil tank prior to prolonged usage
or long trips.
New outboards are programmed to use addi-
tional oil during the first two hours of operation
above 2000 RPM.
When operating in conditions
under 32°F (0°C), Evinrude/Johnson
XD100 oil must be used.
Always keep an extra supply of outboard oil in
the boat. Refer to Oil Requirements on page
19.
If you run the oil tank empty, you MUST refill
the oil tank and prime the oil system before
using the engine. Refer to Filling the Oil
Tank on page 20 and Priming the Oil Sys-
tem on page 20.
