NO, the 1972 was Hydro-Electric shift and takes Johnson/Evinrude "Premium Blend" gearcase oil. Previously called "Type C".

You have an electric shift lower unit, it uses premium blend as F R advises.

I'm confused, your antique Johnson 79 asking about a 65 from 72. Oh well I wasn't a fast learner.

Good luck ya'll
