With the rating TC-W3 you can use any of the Evinrude oils or any oil that meets or exceeds TC-W3 specifications. Like I said earlier if I were to use an Evinrude oil it would be XD100 but due to cost I run Amsoil HP Injector. Run what oil you want but going 100% syenthic would be a wise choice. If you choose something other than a syenthic oil I recommend running a fuel addative to help combat carbon.

BTW one can argue that the 150 Intruder was one of the best small block motors that Evinrude ever made. They are not as fuel efficent as a Ficht or E-tech but they are very strong motors that are almost bullet proof if they are well maintained and took care of.

Wise words on the fuel additive. Evinrudes and Johnsons have always been notorius for carboning. I have over 1500 hours on my ETEC now running XD50...but do put an additive (Ring Free) in it everytime I fuel up. I do my scheduled maintenance in half the recommended time and plugs always come out like new.....a little preventive maintenance goes a long way in the end....considering the cost of the alternative.
