    Im looking for the lithium based steering fluid for the ross box on the 3b. Parts stores around here just dont carry the stuff anymore. Whats the difference between the lithium based stuff and regular power steering fluid?

    Um, the Ross box uses 90 wt. oil not power steering fluid. Some folks opt for grease instead, but that is usually because of leaks not because it works better.
