When you’re looking after your Evinrude* 115 Outboard Motor, synthetic oil is the way to go. It gives top-notch protection and performance, especially for powerful engines like the Evinrude* 115. If you want to keep your outboard motor running smoothly and lasting longer, here are five essential tips for maintaining synthetic oil that you need to stick to.
Unveiling the Top Features of 115 Evinrude* Outboard Motors
The Evinrude* 115 outboard motor comes equipped with a powerful V4 60° E-TEC* D.I. engine, boasting a bore x stroke measurement of 3.62 x 2.60 inches (92 x 66 mm) and a displacement of 105.4 cubic inches (1.7L, 1727cc). With a full throttle RPM range of 5500-6000 RPM, this motor features an electric starter and mechanical controls for easy operation. Its fuel induction system utilizes E-TEC* Direct Injection with a stratified low RPM combustion mode, ensuring efficient performance. With an alternator output of 133 Amps total / 50 Net Dedicated, this motor offers remote steering with a tiller accessory and utilizes the FasTrak™* Power Trim and Tilt for precise tilt adjustment ranging from 75˚ and trim from -4˚ to 17˚. The lubrication process involves Multi-Point Targeted Oiling, with an oil tank capacity of 1.8 gallons (6.8L) and options for 3 (11.3L) or 10 (37.85L) gallon tank sizes. Recommended for use with 100% Synthetic Marine 2 Stroke Oil, this motor is designed to run on 87 octane fuel and meets 100% Global Emissions Compliant standards including EPA 2013, CARB 3 STAR, and European Union regulations.
Evinrude* 115 Secrets: Why Synthetic Oil is the Way to Go!
For top-notch performance in today’s two-stroke marine engines, you must use a high-performance 100% synthetic marine 2-stroke oil. The switch to Direct Fuel Injection (DFI) has boosted combustion efficiency, giving you more power while meeting exhaust emission regulations with leaner gas-to-oil ratios. But the lower oil content in these leaner ratios compromises lubrication and protection for high-temperature, high-powered engines, leading to deposits and increased wear that can harm engine performance and longevity. A specially designed 100% synthetic marine 2-stroke oil proves highly effective in such tough conditions by reducing friction, heat, and wear that can hinder performance. This advanced oil also offers benefits like less smoke emissions and minimal aquatic toxicity, perfectly suiting cutting-edge engines such as the Evinrude* 115 outboard motor.
- Choose the Right Synthetic Oil
Selecting the correct synthetic oil is crucial for the optimal performance of your Evinrude* 115 Outboard Motor. Make sure to use a high-quality, marine-grade synthetic oil that meets the manufacturer’s specifications. Using the right oil will help reduce friction, prevent wear and tear, and improve fuel efficiency. - Regular Oil Changes
Regular oil changes are essential to keep your outboard motor in top condition. Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines on the frequency of oil changes. Generally, it’s recommended to change the synthetic oil every 100 hours of operation or at least once a year, whichever comes first. Fresh oil helps maintain engine cleanliness and lubrication. - Monitor Oil Levels
Check the oil levels in your Evinrude* 115 regularly to ensure that it is within the recommended range. Low oil levels can lead to engine overheating and increased friction, potentially causing damage. Keep an eye out for any oil leaks or unusual consumption patterns that may indicate underlying issues. - Inspect Oil Quality
Periodically inspect the quality of the synthetic oil in your outboard motor. Check for any signs of contamination, such as debris or water, which can compromise the oil’s effectiveness. Milky or cloudy oil indicates water contamination and should be addressed immediately to prevent engine damage.
