The steering rack takes 90 wt gear oil, not the same as the differential oil is my understanding.  The Factory Service Manual says to use “10 strokes” and I am not going to touch that instruction.  Just do not use to much oil, if you can detect oil in the steering boots that is to much.  Some years ago found a oil gun and oil at a boat shop.  Photo below I hope.  The tape measure is for reference only.
