1970 60 HP Johnson Lower unit

[jchaulk]

I am hoping someone can tell me what oil to use in my lower unit.
I am not sure which type is reccomended for my engine? I ordered a Repair manual and it turns out when it arrived not be the right manual for my engine it was close but does not cover 60 HP. Any help would be appreciated.

The lower unit on that engine is what is called a "Hydro Electric Shift" unit.

It requires "Premium Blend" gearlube, also know as "Type C" available only at you local dealership.
