Evinrude lower unit gear oil...which one??

[helfertyc1972]

I own a 1969 Evinrude 85 hp, electric shift...does a certain type of lower unit gear oil have to be used or will any do? I have heard that some older electric shifts require special gear oil. Can anyone advise?

OMC type C (NOT Hi-Vis) is required for electric shift motors.
