    1960 Evinrude Lark 2 gear oil

    I was just wondering what type of oil should go in the lower unit of my 1960 evinrude lark 2. I just got it started but the lower unit is empty. I've heard of 80w-90, is this the right oil? What do I need to fill it up from the bottom? Can I get all of these items at walmart? Thanks!
