Hi can anyone tell me is it correct that the rack should be oiled and not greased if so do you fill a grease gun with oil if so what type of oil is best.thanks

British Leyland manual says EP90 gear oil but I know a lot of people use grease.

I believe that the technique for putting oil in is to unscrew the grease nipple and squirt the oil in with an oil can or whatever you can improvise.

One or two on this site say that they use a mixture of oil and grease -- so there is a third option

When I fitted my steering rack gaiters I greased up the rack not onlying for ease of it but also from reading up that the oil doesn't lubricate the top half of the rack if there isn't enough oil in and also when your gaiters split (which they will ) your going to get an oily mess and no lubrication

Great thanks for help may as well change my diff oil while ime at it.
