Frequently Asked Questions - BRP Evinrude E15D Operator's Manual

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

No dealer-scheduled maintenance for the first three years of normal recreational use? Really?
• Yes! Bombardier Recreational Products knows you want to spend your time on the water,
not servicing your Evinrude E-TEC outboard. There are no valves to adjust, belts to service,
chains to replace, or oil to change. We do recommend pre-launch inspections of your out-
board at each use and at regular intervals. Salt water applications require minimal additional
inspections and lubrication.
What kind of oil does my Evinrude E-TEC outboard require?
• Any TC-W3 oil may be used. The outboard can be programmed by your Dealer to run on
Evinrude/Johnson XD100 oil for lower oil consumption. Refer to Filling the Oil Tank on
page 17; see also Oil Requirements on page 16.
Do I need to mix oil into my fuel?
• No. Evinrude E-TEC outboards do not require any mixing of oil and fuel.
What fuel octane is recommended for my Evinrude E-TEC outboard?
• Evinrude E-TEC outboards require a minimum octane of 87 (U.S.). Use of higher octane fu-
els is not harmful, but also not necessary. The use of alcohol-extended fuels is acceptable
ONLY if the alcohol content does not exceed 10% ethanol by volume; or 5% methanol with
5% cosolvents by volume. Refer to Minimum Octane on page 18.
What do I need to do before storing my Evinrude E-TEC outboard for the winter?
• Winterization is minimal. Refer to Storage on page 40 for step-by-step instructions to store
your Evinrude E-TEC outboard for the off-season.
Where should I take my Evinrude E-TEC outboard for service?
• For repairs covered under warranty, you must take your Evinrude E-TEC outboard to an au-
thorized dealer. BRP-approved dealers and distributors have received the necessary train-
ing to properly service your outboard. Contact BRP for an authorized Evinrude E-TEC dealer
near you.
Can I order replacement parts and accessories for my Evinrude E-TEC outboard?
• Yes. When replacement parts are required, use Evinrude/Johnson Genuine Parts or parts
with equivalent characteristics, including type, strength, and material. Using substandard
parts could result in injury or product malfunction. Your dealer can order the parts and ac-
cessories you desire.
Do I need to complete any paperwork when I move or sell my Evinrude E-TEC outboard?
• Yes. In order to maintain contact with you or the new Evinrude E-TEC outboard owner, BRP
requests you complete the form outlining Change of Address / Change of Ownership on
page 69. This will ensure you or the new owner is made aware of any product announce-
ments and keep the warranty coverage up-to-date.
