Oil Filters and Oil Reservoir
Perform visual inspections to identify oiling system
leaks. Make certain the oil tank is filled and oil
supply is not contaminated.
Evinrude E-TEC V-model outboards are equipped
with two serviceable oil filters: one is located in the
oil injection tank, and one is located in the oil sup-
ply line before the oil lift pump.
Sample oil from bottom of oil injection tank. Con-
firm that oil is free of water or other contaminants.
