<VV> Steering Box Lube

When I rebuilt my steering box (66 Corsa) in 2021, I did it because it was
starting to weep oil when sitting for a long time so I had a seal issue.
I agree that the NLGI-2 chassis grease is too thick so I ended up using an
NLGI-1.
I found Mobilgrease CM-L on Amazon for $14.50 for a 14oz tube and this was
plenty to fill the box.  The good part about it is it's a little like
pudding so it will flow somewhat when you're filling the box and won't pack
along the sides.  It sounds like it's a high quality grease that's for
mining and construction equipment and I like that it has 3% molybdenum
sulphide (moly) for wear protection at the bearings and bushings in the
box.  I'm not sure if it's better than an O or OO grade but I didn't want
something too runny.
Good luck!
