I have always used grease.  As per instructions, not more than five  pumps 
with the gun.  I have had the occasion to open the rack and pinion  gear and 
there was plenty of grease in there. . .all over the place, not giving  any 
indication that anything was under lubricated.  Give it six pumps and  it oozes 
out 
into the boot.  IMHO using gear oil is going to accomplish  nothing more than 
add to the stain on your garage floor.
