Using Your Evinrude E-TEC G2 Outboard
2–Stroke Engine Oil and Fuel
2–Stroke Engine Oil Requirements
Evinrude Brand Oils
Evinrude XD 2–stroke outboard oils are for-
mulated to give best engine performance
while controlling piston and combustion
chamber deposits, providing superior lubrica-
tion, and ensuring maximum spark plug life.
The following 2–stroke outboard oils are rec-
ommended for use in your Evinrude E-TEC
G2 outboard:
• Evinrude XD100 Direct Injection Oil
• Evinrude XD50 2–Stroke Oil
• or a synthetic TC-W3 NMMA-certified oil
Evinrude XD100 oil is preferred for your
Evinrude E-TEC G2 outboard. This synthet-
ic formula oil provides uncompromised lubri-
cation and superior performance, even in
extreme conditions especially in cold tem-
peratures down to 0°F (-17°C).
Failure to follow oil specifications could void
the engine warranty if a lubrication-related
failure occurs.
Oiling System information
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 30.
To check oil level:
• Trim outboard to the vertical position.
• Use a digital display or gauge to check the
oil tank level.
Always “top off” your oil tank prior to pro-
longed usage or long trips. You may want to
keep an extra supply of outboard oil in the
boat.
New outboards are programmed to use addi-
tional oil during the first two hours of operation
above 2000 RPM.
If you run the oil tank empty, REFILL the oil
tank and prime the oil system before using the
engine. Refer to Filling the On-Engine Oil
Tank on page 15 and Priming the Oil Sys-
tem on page 15.
If an accessory remote oil tank is installed and
the oil hose is disconnected for any reason,
seal it to prevent spillage. Install a cap on the
hose fitting to prevent contamination.
Oil Tank Capacity
The on-engine oil tank capacity is 2.0 gallons
(7.5 liters).
Optional Remote Oil Tank

tank kits are available:
• 1.8 gallons (6.8 liters)
• 3.0 gallons (11.3 liters)
• An oil tank pick-up kit is also available for
the 10 gallon (37.8 liters) capacity oil tank.
Install the optional remote oil tank following
the instructions provided with the unit.

(0°C), Evinrude XD100 oil must be used.
