Frequently Asked Questions - BRP Evinrude E-TEC 40 Operator's Manual

No dealer-scheduled maintenance for three years or 300 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 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 outboard at each use and at reg-
ular intervals. Salt water applications require minimal additional inspections and lubrication.
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.
What kind of oil does my Evinrude E-TEC outboard require?
• Evinrude XD100 Direct Injection Oil and Evinrude XD50 2–Stroke Oil are recommended for
your Evinrude E-TEC outboard.
Do I need to mix oil into my fuel?
• No. Evinrude E-TEC outboards do not require any mixing of oil and fuel.
Can I order replacement parts and accessories for my Evinrude E-TEC outboard?
• Yes. When replacement parts are required, use Evinrude Genuine Parts or parts with equiv-
alent characteristics, including type, strength, and material. Using substandard parts could
result in injury or product 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 outboard?
• Yes. In order to maintain contact with you or the new Evinrude E-TEC owner, BRP requests
you complete the form Change of Address / Change of Ownership on page 93. This will
ensure you or the new owner is made aware of any product announcements and keep the
warranty coverage up-to-date.
What do I need to do before storing my Evinrude E-TEC outboard for the winter?
• Winterization is minimal. Refer to the Storage section for step-by-step instructions to store
your Evinrude E-TEC outboard for the off-season.
