Great info. Started doing my now after local dealership closed. Lots of help so thank you. Noticed my oil turned dark after three seasons. Checked on two other friends and theirs did the same. Its like the HPF Pro oil is turning black on all of them way before the 5 year/500 hrs. Started doing mine every season now to keep it at that nice golden color. Worth the peace of mind.
Thanks for the video Eric, there is so little info on the G2. The allen wrench is a 4 mm to remove the screen, same size for the motor side cowling panels. Takes a little effort to get it seated in the screw due to the angle, just be patient.
Could have been. Mine may of had more corrosion built up in it. The key is to make sure it feels snug before you try to turn it. That would probably be a 30 minute to hour long job with an easy out if you round it off.
I’d drain level till it quits, then tilt about 30 degrees and wait till that quits. Then refill ONLY with engine perfectly LEVEL. I liked your idea of coming back and re-draining to “wash out” old residual lube from before that was dark. It was pretty dark. Was the lube in reservoir before change also dark? If so possibly that could be used as a gauge to determine oil changes if dark earlier than prescribed hourly use on engine. Just a thought 💭.
Great video! I followed all the steps however the oil wouldnt drain from the reservoir. I blew on the tube but nothing happened. Could there be a blockage in the line?
If it’s on a G2 anything from that part of the motor is related to the DPS. All that stuff requires proprietary tools and parts. It will need to see a dealer.
Thank you for it. I have a question it is important for me, I own a 150 Evinrude g2 with 60 hours,I bought last summer and I did not change anything on machine and did not do any maintance. I only winterized my engine, what should I do for next summer ? Thanks for your help.
I change my gear oil every 100 hours. Evinrude says you can go longer but I don’t. I also visually inspect the clear overflow gear oil jug inside the cowling after each use to make sure it doesn’t look milky. Milky means water got in and the oil isn’t able to lubricate anymore.
@@alibaranakpolat5925 I also change my fuel filters, spark plugs and water pumps every year. You should be able to go to the Evinrude website and they’ll list everything. I’ve only had these Evinrudes for a year myself, I had a Mercury before.
These motors have 3,000 but according to a search the dealer did on the serial numbers, the gear cases were replaced halfway though their lives, so I’m guessing 1500.
@@ericdavi1231 I put about a quart and some change into my lower unit. The ketchup bottle is still empty. Does that mean my engine takes more? I don’t see any leaks, it’s been a couple of days. Should I add more gear oil?
With the engine idling you can push the “winterize” button. I guess you could also use the “winterize” function if you’re going to be leaving it for a long time during the summer. All it does is pump extra oil into the cylinders.
The fact that the oil is not gushing out when you pull the plug is a great thing. It means the unit is still sealed and no leaks normally. Great job!

Thanks…. Was happy I found your video :) On my 150HO, the reservoir is on the other side

Took about 42 ounces in my 250. I let it drain overnight to ensure all was out
Where can I find the Manuel you are talking about on Facebook page
The documents section of the Evinrude etec owners group.
I have a small leaking coming from a small star screw near the trim tilt. Is it possible for me to send you a picture? Love the videos btw!

Thank you sir ,
Is there something more to do for new season except gear oil ?
Like fuel or water filters.

@@ericdavi1231 thank you for support 🙏🏼
Grease this very good engine
Thanks for the upload. I own a 150 Evinrude G2 with 2k hours and still on the original lower unit. How many hours on yours?

What color should the old oil be after the high performance oil gets old
As long as it doesn’t look like a milkshake, you’re good!
Also shouldn’t have metal shavings in it
@@ericdavi1231 have a email i can send you a video to so i can get your opinion on mines
Hey brother what gear lube kit did you use?
I ordered HPF Pro gear lube and any gear lube pump will work. I used that same pump on my old Mercury

@@therodfather2121 yeah, it needs to be in between the marks in the bottle. I must have still had a little of the old oil still left in mine.
What type of oil did you use?
HPF Pro
nice explain , thanks video
How do you summarize it ?
With the engine idling you can push the “winterize” button. I guess you could also use the “winterize” function if you’re going to be leaving it for a long time during the summer. All it does is pump extra oil into the cylinders.
