Type C lower Unit Lube

[Inchhigh]

Cany anybody still find type C lube? I've called three places around here and they all say nobody makes it anymore. One said to use Transmission Fluid. I've been told I need to be careful about the lube in my 1972 Evenrude 100 but I can't find the lube recommended anymore.

BRP no longer call it Type C. Its called BRP Premium Blend.

Type C is still marketted by others though

see http://www.iboats.com/Type_C_Gear_Oil/dm/*******.816960871--**********.548826917--view_id.45019

A bit of searching suggests that Dexron ATF can be used as a last resort if Premium Blend/Type C cannot be obtained

Prem. Blend is what you need for an electric shift.
Type c you can get at a BRP dealer.

I managed to find something at the local "Mans Mall", a regional chain in the Midwest called Fleet Farm (or Farm and Fleet in Cheeseland). They had it in the automotive section. The only lube products in the Boating area were all either Fleet Farm branded or Quicksilver.
