Not sure if it was the right stuff or not, back in the
Sixties when I worked in a garage, we checked steering
boxes as part of a lube job. If the steering box lube
was low, we added 80 weight gear lubricant. The same
stuff we put in rear ends. We also used 90 weight gear
oil and used that for some transmissions and rear
ends. 80 weight will stay liquid will stay thick
enough not to run out the seals.
