88" Series 2A. Oil is seeping out the side of the steering box where the rocker shaft goes through but I need to delay replacing that rocker O-ring seal. Until then I'd like to limit oil getting all over the chassis.
A local, reputable, old school Rover shop (30yrs +) recommend using grease in the steering box instead of typical EP90.
I've read online about a few options, most of which are self-leveling (more so when warm, less when cold) and would keep the friction parts lubed (unlike a thicker grease which would 'channel'):
The truck is never in freezing temps (+/-40deg F lowest at night), so no worries of lube being too cold.
Anyone have any positive/negative experiences using a "grease" like these, instead of traditional oil in their steering box?
Thanks

- LR One Shot (i think it's NLGI 00 or 0)
- Penrite Steering Box Lube (NLGI 00)
- John Deere Corn Head Grease (NLGI 0)
- Lubriplate Synthetic Worm Gear Lube
