Oil Injection Rate
If the owner desires, the Engine Management
Module (EMM) on Evinrude E-TEC models can be
programmed for the exclusive use of XD100,
which will significantly reduce oil consumption.
The TC-W3 OIL control setting allows the out-
board to be run on TC-W3 outboard lubricant.
Changing to the optional XD100 OIL CONTROL
setting requires the use of Evinrude XD100 out-
board lubricant. Running the outboard in XD100
OIL mode can reduce oil consumption by approxi-
mately one third. Refer to Oil Control on p. 109.
Powerhead oil programming labels are provided
to identify EMM oil programming. Install the cor-
rect label to alert user to specific oil requirements.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the engine label and
boat decal match EMM programming.
XD100 Outboard Oil Decal
Evinrude/Johnson XD100 oil decals are available
to label boats equipped with Evinrude E-TEC out-
boards that have been programmed for the
XD100 oil injection ratio.
Use the XD100 Outboard Oil Decal, P/N 352369,
to accurately inform the boat operator of the
XD100 outboard oil requirement.
Install decal(s) in one or more of the highly visible
recommended locations to alert the outboard
operator(s).
Recommended Locations:
• Dashboard/deck of boat, adjacent to key switch
• Deck of boat, adjacent to the remote oil fill
• Deck of boat, adjacent to oil tank assembly
• Oil tank cover
• Cover of oil tank compartment
• Attach to oil tank or oil fill cap
Break-In Oiling
IMPORTANT: DO NOT add oil in the fuel tank
on Evinrude E-TEC models.
The Engine Management Module (EMM) will auto-
matically supply extra oil to the engine during the
first two hours of operation above 2000 RPM.
Follow these steps for initial outboard set-up:
• Use the Evinrude Diagnostics Software pro-
gram to confirm that the break-in program has
been initiated. Refer to Oil Control on p. 109.
• The oil tank should be filled and the oil level
accurately marked for reference.
• Fill the fuel tank with the recommended fuel.
IMPORTANT: The operator must monitor the oil
tank level to confirm oil consumption. This may
require several hours of operation above idle
speed.
CAUTION
Running an Evinrude E-TEC outboard on
other grades of oil while set to the XD100
oil ratio will result in increased engine
wear and shortened outboard life.
