Diving deeper into the ‘interwebs’ (not always good) I stumbled onto some conversations which bring up a point on how the ETECS are programmed to use less high quality oil but also can be programmed/set/switched to consume more of the lower quality oils to protect themselves (I.E. XD-50). As in 1 gallon of oil mixed with 100 gallons of gas in the right conditions (i.e 100:1).
Conversely, I also have a 2014 30hp set up for XD-50 by default which is a semi-synthetic.
The 2014 40hp this post is about has tags asking for XD-100.
Just want to treat the motors right, and underneath the cowel on these engines is a lot more going on then the typical 20 year old carbureted birds I work on everyday.
I bet if you premix your fuel and put cheap oil in the reservoir of one of these engines they’d still be OK………
