Use 80-90w gear oil. The fill plug is on the top of the gear box on the left side. It is small, so you'll need either a squirt can or even a syringe to get the oil in there.

After you fill the steering box with oil use teflon plumbers tape on the threads of the plug. It will help prevent water in the box. Also keep the small hole in the steering column tube open. It is just above where the tube joins the box. check the top seal under the steering wheel for play where water could enter.
