OIL REQUIREMENTS
IMPORTANT: Failure to follow oil specifica-
tions could void the engine warranty if a lubri-
cation-related failure occurs.
FILLING THE OIL TANK
Remove the engine cover to access the oil
tank. Remove the filler cap and fill the tank
with the recommended outboard lubricant.
The oil tank capacity is 2.0 quarts (1.9 liters)
Replace the filler cap and tighten securely.
Reinstall the engine cover.
PRIMING THE OIL SYSTEM
If available, use the Evinrude Diagnostics
Software program oil priming function for a
minimum of 90 seconds.
If the diagnostics program is not available,
prime the oiling system by using the winteriza-
tion procedure. Refer to Long-Term Storage
(Winterization) on page 33.
Observe oil flow through the oil distribution
hoses.
Small bubbles are acceptable. Large bubbles
must be eliminated through continued prim-
ing.
1. Large bubble
2. Small bubbles
OILING SYSTEM OPERATION
Break-In
New outboards are programmed to use addi-
tional oil during the first two hours of operation
above 2000 RPM. No other action is required
by the operator.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT add oil in the fuel
tank.
NO OIL Warning System
When the level in the oil tank falls below one-
quarter:
•The EMM interrupts the ignition once per 50
engine revolutions to signal the operator.
The EMM then calculates remaining oil level
based on oil pump pulse cycles. When it de-
termines the oil has been used, the EMM:
• Limits engine speed to 2500 RPM.
To recover from NO OIL mode, stop the out-
board and add oil to tank. The warning resets
after the pump cycles for a minimum of three
pulses with the oil level above one-quarter.
Evinrude/Johnson XD100 is the only out-
board oil recommended for use with MFE
models:
In combat emergency if Evinrude/Johnson
XD100 oil is not available, you must use an
oil that meets NMMA TC-W3 certification
standards. Operating time should be limited
to the duration of the combat emergency and
the operator should return to operating on
Evinrude/Johnson XD100 as soon as
possible.
IMPORTANT: Evinrude/Johnson XD100 oil
must be used when operating in tempera-
tures under 32°F (0°C).
The oiling system must be primed before us-
ing the outboard if:
• The outboard is new;
• You run completely out of oil; or
• The outboard is laid down for transportation
or storage.
