        Apparently the zerk fitting on top of the trunnion is
        for injecting 90 weight oil, not grease.

A topic of much debate, that. Modern synthetic greases do a better
job of not packing and separating, which is the original concern
about using oil there. Most folks I know just use grease and make
sure to hit it (and ooze out the old grease when hitting it)
every 3-6K miles.

The Lotus and Triumphs lists are better places to have this discussion.
