Evinrude oil | Outboard Motor Oil - Part 9

Understanding the Different Types of Evinrude Oil

It is generally recommended that after buying an outboard motor you continue to keep it running in great shape with oil that actually comes from the same company that made the engine. This is because the manufacturers of your motor have the best idea about exactly what the outboard motor needs. Choosing something from the manufacturer isn’t enough though.

You have to make sure that you are also using the right oil for the outboard motor that you have specifically. For example, it isn’t enough to just buy any type of Evinrude oil. You need to know the difference between XD100, XD50, and XD30 oil. You can usually find information about what specific type of oil needs to be used by reading your owners manual.

Evinrude Outboard Oil for a Used Outboard Motor

domo online blog 1 8-18-14One of my friends has been looking for a motor to put on his boat for a long time. He originally was only looking at new motors because he was sure that these would be better than any used motors that he could find. After looking at prices on some of them, he realized that a used motor might not be a bad idea when it came to his purposes, since they were much cheaper.

Once he found a good motor to buy, he brought it home to work on right away. He spent an afternoon going over the motor and making sure that all of the parts of it looked like they were in good working order. He then made sure to get some Evinrude outboard oil for the engine. He took the motor out on the lake for the first time without any problems at all.

Taking Good Care of My Fishing Boat with Evinrude Johnson 2 Stroke Outboard Oil

domo online blog 1 8-11-14When it comes to taking good care of my boat, I guess that I can be a little bit fussy. I take great care whenever I wash the boat to make sure that I look for any scratches or problem spots on the boat that might indicate that something is wrong. When I run the outboard motor, I listen for any flaws in the normal operating noise that it produces to detect engine problems early.

I always take good care of my outboard motor by making sure the correct ratio of Evinrude Johnson 2 stroke outboard oil is mixed in with the gasoline that I use to run it. I am very careful about measuring out just the right amount to make sure the mixture is perfect for my motor. I also include a fuel additive to clean out any build up that might be in the motor.

Finding Evinrude Oil Last Minute

domo online blog 2 7-07-14Since there was a three day weekend last weekend, my uncle thought it might be a good idea to take his boat out on the lake on Sunday. He knew that the lake was probably going to be pretty crowded, but he still wanted to get a chance to go out on his boat and have a little bit of fun. When he checked his outboard motor prior to leaving the house, he realized he was going to need some outboard motor oil.

Since my uncle usually buys all of the Evinrude oil for his boat online, he wasn’t exactly sure where to buy it locally when he needed it right away. He was able to find the oil that he was looking for at a local automotive repair store. It was a lot more expensive than it would have been if he’d purchased it online earlier.  That will be the last time he makes that mistake!

Evinrude XD50 Oil in the Cabinet

domo online blog 2 6-23-14When I was young, we would often go out on my grandfather’s boat. It was a large boat, far larger than my father’s, so I felt safe on it even when the waves got pretty rough. Whenever we were moving from one harbor to the next, my grandma would make sure that I stayed in the cabin, where there was no risk of me falling off of the boat while it was running.

Sometimes in especially rough weather, the cabinets in the boat would open and the contents would escape. My grandfather usually had some ropes, fishing gear, and some Evinrude XD50 oil in the cabinets. Whenever, the cabinets would spill their contents it was my job to put everything back where it came from. I had to do this many times during our trips.

Taking Some Evinrude Outboard Oil Along for the Ride

domo online blog 1 6-16-14My uncle thinks that his boat might have some sort of an oil leak. He can’t be sure because he hasn’t actually seen any oil leaking out into the water or onto the street and it would usually be easy to see leaking oil from a boat motor. All the same when he checked his oil reservoir, he discovered that the oil in his motor was low, which is odd since he just filled it.

Until he has time to get his boat looked at by a professional, my uncle plans to keep some Evinrude outboard oil on hand and check the reservoir regularly to see if there is a low amount of oil. Until then, he will only take the boat out on short trips and regularly check to see if there is oil leaking into the water. At the first sign of trouble, he will return to shore.

Evinrude Johnson 2 Stroke Outboard Oil is Part of My Summer Routine

domo online blog 1 6-9-14On most weekends during the summer, I take my boat out on the lake to enjoy the beautiful weather. Even when the weather is not so great, I will go out because I’ll usually have most of the lake to myself. My weekend routine focuses around prepping my boat for the day out on the lake and heading out onto the lake.

Before I go out each weekend, I make sure that I have the proper mix of Evinrude Johnson 2 stroke outboard oil running through my outboard engine. I try to get to the boat launch early, because then I can usually beat the crowd of families that will show up at the launch later on. Once I get my boat into the water and my truck parked, I am ready for a fun weekend excursion.

Evinrude Oil is Making it a Little Easier to Breathe

domo online blog 3 5-12-14I have always loved living on a lake up into the point in the year when all of the people with speed boats come out and race around the lake, leaving some of us choking on their filthy exhaust. Since I enjoy boating myself, I understand that exhaust is just a part of the boating experience. However, I happen to know that the amount of soot and sludge in the exhaust is not necessary.

When people use cheaper oil, they end up with nastier things coming out in their exhaust. There is a lot more soot and ash in the exhaust which isn’t good for your engine or the environment. I always stick with Evinrude oil because it cuts back on these nasty emissions at least somewhat by having lower ash content in the oil that the engine has to use.

Out on the Lake Appreciating Evinrude Outboard Oil

domo online blog 1 4-14-14The arrival of the spring season has meant warm sunny weekends and many chances to take the boat out on the lake. Since spring also means my allergies are already acting up the last thing that I want to deal with is exhaust from my boat motor making me choke. With a lot of filthy smoke added to the rest of the allergens a day on the lake kind of sucks.

Luckily, I was able to go out on my boat this weekend without worrying about exhaust smoke adding to my allergy symptoms. This is because my motor has been running a lot cleaner since I switched to Evinrude outboard oil. There is a lot less exhaust smoke which makes me a lot happier when I am out on the lake in my boat.

A Tradition in Evinrude Johnson 2 Stroke Outboard Oil

domo online blog 1 4-7-14When I was growing up, the technology with boats and their engines was a little bit different. I remember the old depth finders that were a lot less accurate and didn’t necessarily give you the best readings. We didn’t have cool things like single lever control for the speed of a boat or a control system with a bunch of buttons to press.

Even back then with less technology, my uncle still relied on the Evinrude Johnson brand. He didn’t trust any oil other than Evinrude Johnson 2 stroke outboard oil to keep his engine clean and running well. To this day, he still relies on the oil that he has used for boating back then, because it has never failed him.

Trusting Evinrude Oil in an Evinrude Motor

domo online blog 3 3-10-14My friend recently purchased a new boat. He ended up buying a used motor to go with the boat, since it did not come with one initially. It was an Evinrude motor that one of his friends had for a boat that they no longer chose to use anymore. My friend spent several hours reading up on the motor online, so that he could learn more about it.

He wanted to make sure that he could keep the motor running perfectly. He learned what kind of Evinrude oil needed to go in the motor, exactly how much oil to use, and what other maintenance needed to be performed regularly. He got a checklist of some of the required maintenance and decided to start fresh by getting these things done right away.

No Ads for Evinrude Johnson 2 Stroke Outboard Oil

When I was listening to the radio this morning, I heard a commercial for some variety of motor oil. They were advertising a special where you could buy three quarts and get the fourth one for half price. I realized then that I always heard ads for car oil on the radio, but I never have heard an ad that is specifically for any type of boat motor oil.

The only time I have seen any ads for this type of oil is when I have been watching something specifically boat related on the television. Only then are ads for Evinrude Johnson 2 stroke outboard oil ever seen. I suppose that this is mainly because boat oil is such a specialized product. Most people do not need it in their day to day lives.
