steering box rebuild

I am in the process of rebuilding the steering box on my 63’.
I am getting some opposing answers on the question of what lubricant to use in the box.
Motor oil, gear oil, and moly base lithium grease seem to be the lubricants in question. A very reliable source
is recommending the lithium grease.
Any thoughts from the forum?
