BTW, you do awesome work!

Thanks! So you haven't filled your steering box yet?
I checked my owners manual and shop manual and neither say what's in the steering box. The shop manual says fluid never needs to be changed but doesn't say what it is. The differential and manual transmissions take gear oil so that's what I used in my steering box.
So if what you read is true, will all my new differential seals eventually start leaking?
I've never heard of the Champion lube. Is the "00" a measure of viscosity?
