xd 100 oil for E-Tec

[juju]

Im out of oil, plan to get a service done soon as a quick check but will be going out before then i think....I got my Last oil with my 30 hour check i had done at bribie boats, anyone know if northside marine or sundown, or cunninghams stock xd 100 to save a drive?

[REEL CRUISY]

Hi, i know Leisure marine at Capalaba should stock it not sure if this would be out the way for you.
how much oil is yours using mine is a 150 get about two tanks to a bottle.

[juju]

I have a inspection to do thur arvo at tingalpa...will drop in there then....mine just sips the stuff...ive only used 2 i think, i cant remember buying the last one....ive done 79 hours......im sure i bought the 2nd one when i had it checked at about 35 hours>>.

[REEL CRUISY]

I seam to be using a fair bit more the you do. Why did you have it checked at the 35 hour mark?
Any other e-tec owners of larger outboards use much of the oil? it would be good to know.

REEL CRUISY i run a 200H.O and with 40+ hours on it i am only on my third bottle. How many bottles have you used to what hours.

[REEL CRUISY]

Hi Damien i would be on at lest 7 or 8th bottle and done 85 hours.
Not sure if its using a bit much or not but sounds about right with what you said.
Will have a talk with the dealer this week, burning a 160lt of fuel for about 180km

Thats about twice what my 175 uses. Get the oil calibration checked.

[REEL CRUISY]

Any other e-tec owners out there with figures on how much xd 100 they use?

From another topic

Re: 2 Stroke Oils-Are they really different?
Hi Have just heard that BRP has imported 200 liter drums of xd100. Put some pressure on your local Evinrude dealer to get one and get them to refil your existing 1 gallon drums. They should be able to sell it to you for about $50- $55 a us gallon and still make money. Very good oil with loads of anti carbon and a full synthetic designed for marine use now at an OK price.

Also if you are comparing oil consumption with an ETEC make sure you also add the boat ,weight and revs you usually run at or % time trolling. The ECU in a ETEC has an oil fuel map that changes dependant on how much load the motor is under. Varies the oil mix at different revs / load.

Would like to see the figures as the XD100 on my calcs works out at about a max of 20 cents additional per litre of the fuel cost.

I had a check done on mine as peace of mind thing,they put her on the pc and i have a printout of things, it was at the time they had a recall on some little dohicky..so seeing it was there .....im going to get one done soon either 12 mths or 100 hours...drop the leg and do an oil change....and a once over......but one thing is for sure, my 75 uses bugger all oil

[Steven78]

The other weekend i used 45L of fuel and i only needed to 250ml of XD100 topup happy so far. If you motor is using too much your motor might be programed for normal stroke oil.

[REEL CRUISY]

STEVEN78, my motor is supposed to be programed to run on xd 100 but might be in run in mode still will talk to my dealer soon to run a check on it.

[Smithy]

Reel Cruisey,

you might have had the same problem as I was having with the 200 I borrowed. No way in the world was it getting anywhere near 100:1 oil consumption on XD100. The owner never told me if had a problem as it was due for a service when I gave it back to him.

I have just bought a new Haines Hunter 580 Breeze with a 150 ETEC on it. Have just gone through 4 litres of xd 100 with three full tanks (160lt). Still costs $80 for 4 litres up here on the Sunshine Coast. Is it much cheaper elsewhere ????

[FNQCairns]

Don't you just hate getting ripped, I know I do, I got a price on xd50 at $68 for 1 gallon, 3.8L I think.

What are the rules regarding airfreight from the US on oils - anyone done it? gotta be as low as half the price landed I suspect, but dunno.
Do the dealers understand they are doing damage to E-tec sales and in effect future XD sales by gouging!

Really if was to consider a e-tec I couldn't due to the inflated oil cost, isn't a 100%+ markup enough these days.

i would have thought the freight would kill it unless buying in container loads , a 2kg electronics package costs 80 bucks one way .

mark

[FNQCairns]

Yeah that's right Mark, weight costs but volume doesn't with air forgot that, been a while since I surface freighted anything possibly volume not weight is what matters with this mode. Might do some checking I simply will not pay the $68 for xd50 but would like to use it.

cheers fnq

[marco]

hey fnq , i would be interested with what you come up with , maybe a bulk buy between us all ?

mark

[Steven78]

I get XD100 for $70 for 4L I am yet to use less then 1/4 of the bottle.

[marco]

fnq , i googled this http://continuouswave.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/012277.html

[FNQCairns]

Marco, that second link is a beaut! are you interested in 50 or 100? The 50 by your second link is 36Lb and 143.94AUD for a 6 gallon case, might be do-able for around $40-45 per gallon landed, the Yam dealer up here sell yamalube 2st for $42 4L.

Will look further.

An ausfish 55gal drum bulk buy of 50 or 100, for Brisbane ausfisher's:) possibly around $40 per gal landed.
