The tilt and trim fluid reservoir for a 2006 Evinrude 90hp motor is typically located on the side of the tilt and trim unit, near the bottom of the motor. It may be a small plastic or metal container with a screw cap or plug. To add fluid, first, ensure the motor is in the full tilt-up position and that the tilt and trim system is not in operation. Then, remove the screw cap or plug and add hydraulic fluid until it reaches the full mark on the dipstick or sight glass. Use the recommended fluid type specified in the owner's manual or on the reservoir cap. Finally, replace the screw cap or plug and wipe away any excess fluid. It's recommended to check the fluid level periodically and add more fluid as necessary.

It is important to regularly check the oil tank level and refill it as needed to ensure proper engine performance and longevity.
