If your e-tech is program for the synthetic oil (been using the xd-100) can you use the synthetic hp injector Amsoil.Just wanted to know if you could switch from evinrude oil to amsoil and not hurt your motor.
Thanks,

been asking the same thing?
If your E-tec is programmed to XD-100...noway unless you are not worried about warranty. If it is not set to XD-100 I would guess you'd be fine. I read on another board how a guy was using Pennzoil synthetic in his E-tec that was programmed to XD-100. He started having alot of problems with his outboard and when he took it in for warranty it was declined. If you want to use a different oil, I'd suggest getting your E-tec programmed so you don't have to use the XD-100.
I was told when I had mine set for XD-100 day one, that anything other then EX-100 would void the warrant. But leave it set from the factory. I could use what ever I care to use.
I have 5 more gallons of XD-100 and if the price drops back down again. You can bet I have 5 more gallons. Shoot no more then it burns, why swap oils?
