My 1935 shop manual calls for GM "All Season" Steering Gear lubricant, which is probably what your 1936 manual says too. The original lubricant apparently was a light grease. If oil is used it will leak out unless you upgrade the steering box by adding a seal to the sector shaft. I put chassis grease in mine and then added gear lub. It mixed together well and didn't leak.
