    etech 175 oil question

    Puchasing a used boat with a 175 etech. It is set at the 100/1 ratio to run synthic oil. Should I maintain this are move back to the 50/1 setting. I want to do what is best for the long run.

    Re: etech 175 oil question (WILLIAM ERIC)

    It's not a 100/1 setting for synthetic but specifically a reduced oil mode for XD100 oil only. If you're going to run any oil besides XD100 you need to change the setting and it's probably not a bad idea to change the setting if you run the motor hard.
