    new e-tech and 2/3 resevoir of xd-50 should I drain,

    Gents, going fishing for the first time with my new 200 ho e-tech this weekend, should I get rid of as much on the XD 50 oil as resonable and fill the tank up with xd 100. Or just run the xd 50 until it comes time to top off the tank? I plan on running xd 100 exclusively, but I am unsure what to do with this new motor and the oil situation. Also my engine cannot be set to use less oil like the non HO models do. Thanks for your help. dave

    Run your new E-tec on the XD-50 during breakin, it only lasts a few hours and as your oil level goes down you can add XD-100 at your leisure. You are correct you can't change the setting on the HO's. You will be fine.
