Diff oil read topic viewtopic.php?t=74666
Steering rack oil, grease or half and half, the debate is as old as the cars

Re: Diff oil and steering rack oi
The service manual says oil, some say grease doesn't "run away and hide in the rack gaitors", some hedge their bets and put in a mixture.
As Bill says, there is no consensus among owners but, FWIW, I have used EP90 oil without issue for many decades.
