Evinrude/Johnson Brand Oils
Evinrude/Johnson outboard oils are formulat-
ed to give best engine performance while
controlling piston and combustion chamber
deposits, providing superior lubrication, and
ensuring maximum spark plug life.
The following outboard oils are recommend-
ed 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).
Other Oils
If Evinrude/Johnson brand oils are not avail-
able, you must use an oil that meets NMMA
TC-W3 certification standards.
IMPORTANT: Failure to follow oil specifica-
tions could void the engine warranty if a lubri-
cation-related failure occurs.
Always “top off” your oil tank prior to pro-
longed usage or long trips.
New outboards are programmed to use addi-
tional oil during the first two hours of opera-
tion above 2000 RPM.
IMPORTANT: When operating in conditions
under 40°F (4°C), Evinrude/Johnson XD100
oil is recommended.
When operating in conditions under 32°F
(0°C), Evinrude/Johnson XD100 oil, must be
used.
