    Default 1970 40hp Johnson Electric Shift Lube and Fuel Mix

    What kind of lower unit lube does this thing take?

    What fuel mix is it supposed to have? I've heard 50:1, 40:1 and 20:1

    Should be 50:1 gas to oil, The lower unit takes Evinrude premium blend, or it is refered to as TYPE C gear oil.
