EP 90 gear oil

Post by donm »

Anyone know where I can get it? Need it for my new steering box. Can't seem to find it anywhere.

It doesn't have to be exactly 90 weight for the steering box. 80W-90 or 85W-90 is fine, as long as it is EP (extreme pressure). Same oil that is used in the differential, and most auto parts stores should carry this. I know NAPA auto parts has it (as least where I am).
