    XD100 oil ok to use for a 1998 175 Evinrude FICHT


    Hi guys,

    Just recently posted... Is it ok to use XD100 for my 1998 175 Evinrude FICHT?

    I had purchased a case of XD50 and heard the XD100 was a better oil to use because its 100% sythetic.

    Thanks again for the information

    In your neck of the woods, and especially in the colder months below 40* The xd-100 is recommended because the xd-50 will set of no oil codes. The other advantage is no carbon guard additive ,no decarbs. If your pocket book can handle it definately go with the xd-100. I use it on my 03!!!
