Re: E-TEC vs Four Stroke
First let me tell you I do not own an E-Tec..
I have several friends that do own E-Tec’s and really like them. They include 75hp, 200hp and 250hp.
One thing to consider about the E-Tec’s is the oil they recommend you run is pretty expensive. It is not regular TCW-III it is some sort of synthetic BMC proprietary oil.. About $36.00/gal.
If you plan on running the E-Tec on regular TCW-III (from what I understand) the dealer has to program the ECM for TCW-III and that cut's down on the efficiency.
They burn much less oil than regular 2 strokes. It just cost quite a bit more for the E-Tec oil.
E-Tek owners please correct me if I am wrong..
