Frequently Asked Questions
No dealer-scheduled maintenance for five years or 500 hours of normal recreational use?
Really?
• Yes! BRP knows you want to spend your time out on the water, not servicing your Evinrude E-TEC G2
outboard. There are no valves to adjust, belts to service, chains to replace, or oil to change. We do rec-
ommend pre-launch inspections of your outboard at each use and at regular intervals. Salt water appli-
cations require minimal additional inspections and lubrication.
What fuel octane is recommended for my Evinrude E-TEC G2 outboard?
• Evinrude E-TEC G2 outboards require a minimum octane rating 87 {AKI (R+M)/2} in the U.S. and Can-
ada, or 90 {RON} outside of the U.S. and Canada. Use of higher octane fuels is not harmful, but also
not necessary.
What kind of oil does my Evinrude E-TEC G2 outboard require?
• Evinrude XD100 Direct Injection Oil and Evinrude XD50 2–Stroke Oil are recommended for your Evin-
rude E-TEC G2 outboard. When operating in conditions under 32°F (0°C), Evinrude XD100 oil must be
used.
Do I need to mix oil into my fuel?
•No. Evinrude E-TEC G2 outboards do not require any mixing of oil and fuel.
Can I order replacement parts and accessories for my Evinrude E-TEC G2 outboard?
• Yes. When replacement parts are required, use Evinrude Genuine Parts or parts with equivalent char-
acteristics, including type, strength, and material. Using substandard parts could result in injury or prod-
uct malfunction. Your dealer can order the parts and accessories you desire.
Do I need to complete any paperwork when I move or sell my Evinrude E-TEC G2 outboard?
• Yes. In order to maintain contact with you or the new Evinrude E-TEC G2 owner, BRP requests you
complete the form outlining
Change of Address / Change of Ownership on page 75. This will
ensure you or the new owner is made aware of any product announcements and keep the warranty cov-
erage up-to-date.
What do I need to do before storing my Evinrude E-TEC G2 outboard for the winter?
• Winterization is minimal. Refer to Storage on page 44 for step-by-step instructions to store your Evin-
rude E-TEC G2 outboard for the off-season.
