Thanks for the input… yes I might go to Canadian Tire for the regular lube… it makes sense since the motor is not electric shift… it’s just the Service Manual for the 4 Deluxe says it should be Premium , whereas the regular 4, 6 and 8 can use Hi Vis… but not the 4 Deluxe…. It just doesn’t say why.
Just picked up a nice 1993 Johnson 4 Deluxe… low hours, still has factory paint on the plugs. The lower unit requires OMC Premium Blend Lubricant ( not Hi Vis ).
Is there a known suitable replacement for this in today’s market ? Thanks for any wisdom.
