johnson outboard question

I just have two quick questions.
One: what is the recommended fuel mixture for a 87 johnson 110 v4?
Two: What is the lower unit oil that I should use?

I just picked up the boat yesterday evening and want to take it out today(sunday) and all the boat shops here are closed until tomorrow. Thanks for your time.

boat shops not open on a sunday?? Strange.

You'll want "lower unit gear lube"
pretty much everything i've read states 50:1 or 2.56 oz of oil to every gal of gas

Use 50 to 1 on the fuel mix. The lower unit uses 75/90 gear oil. This is what my 98 model 30 hp uses.

I have the same motor, just bored with Wiesco pistons, and shaved where needed . All The advice you got was correct. Good luck with the new boat!
