What is the correct lower unit oil for a 1965 Johnson 40 horse with electric shift?
I have been reading not to use standard lower unit oil in the electric shift models as it may be damaged. Does anyone know what I should be using and where to get it?

Older electric shift models with Hydro-electric shift, a system in which electric control of a hydraulic system is used, require a lighter oil known as "Type C"
