Its called steering box lube and cost about $12. That includes shipping. You only need 1 bottle. Has a pop up tube so you can squeeze it in.

I think it is more like 600 wt . helps to warm it in the sun for a few hrs before trying to pour it  . Works very well , a good product. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2002 Posts: 438 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2002 Posts: 438 | While STP is readily available, Penrite is the way to fly (according to boards as well). | | | | | Joined: Jun 2000 Posts: 2,773 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2000 Posts: 2,773 | If you use grease and live north of the Mason-Dixon line, use a moly grease instead of lithium, it is softer at cold temps.
