Question

How can evinrude e-tec engines run without oil and not damage the engine?

Answer 1

No engines run without oil. Check your facts.

Just because "YOU"  don't mix gas and oil doesn't mean it runs without oil. These engines are oil injected.

Answer 2

There isn't such a thing as an engine that cannot run without oil. Those engines, like the person stated above me, are oil-injected engines, meaning that those engines "ingest" their own oil and fuel separately. You may also be confusing "running without oil" for the low oil sensor, which will shut the motor down if it loses oil pressure or if the oil gets too low. Hope this helps!

Answer 3

they have is a small oil reserve located under the cowl. The engine drops in rpm to conserve oil consumption . You will limp home without damage to the engine.
