I once used the heavy weight gear oil but it leaked out too quickly. I then switched to 50/50 gear oil and STP. That work a little better but still too much leaking. I now use just STP and that's staying in the box much better. What I plan to try next is John Deere Corn Head grease. I have heard this grease works very well in steering boxes and universal joints.
