Hi David
Seeing as no one has responded I’ll respond, if only to put you up the thread list
.
I’m not sure that oil is the best thing to use. All the steering boxes (all three!) I’ve dismantled have had grease in various forms encrusted around their workings. I not seen a gasket between the box and cover (it would get mangled as you adjust the mesh) so does that preclude the use of oil?
Perhaps “groil” is a happy medium and only a few squirts at each service?
Hope others will agree or contradict me as I’d like a definitive answer too.
Cheers
Howard
