Choice of engine oil or ATF ?

I chose engine oil but I agree with you that ATF would be a better solvant to dislodge particules and dirt. Onthe other hand engine oil is much more viscous and will keep in suspension larger particules like sand. I was alone doing steering moves and had to go under to empty/remove the boot so there was no time to loose.

The boot is slipped on normally on the rack end, and the other end of boot is the filling hole for oil.

I used a large syringe to transfer the oil while the boot small end is turned up and held in that position with a line or a piece of wood. A second person is of great help.

I did 4 or 5 full cycles of right and left steering courses.
