i think grade c was the equivalent of 90, which is pretty much stand gear oil. Fill with outboard in upright position to top bung. This allows a small amount of room for expansion (aeration of oil) overfilling may pressurize and blow the bottom seals

make sure you fill from the bottom not from the top or you can get a air lock and blow gear box
