Hello and welcome to Iboats. Gas to oil ratio is 50 to 1. That is 2.56 oz per gallon. Make sure you use marine two cycle oil. On the lower unit there should be two dime size slotted screws on the starboard side. One will be toward the top of the lower unit the other toward the very bottom under the torpedo. Loosen the lower one and oil will come out. You may have to un loosen it all the way to get any out. If water comes out or it is milky white it has water in it and you have a leak somewhere. Motor is from 1972
