We use 90 EP gear oil and then add a Molybdenum disulfide additive to the
oil. We have also lately been adding a friction modifier additive made by
''lube-guard." It is a vegetable based substitute for the Sperm Whale based
additives used up to about 10 years ago. This combination of oil and
additives seems to protect the parts and make for a noticeably lighter
steering.
