Strange... we just had this questions.. so I post one the better comments.
" manual steering the GM manual says to use GM #1051052 Steering Gear Lubricant (13 oz. containers) or any Steering Gear Lubricant which meets GM Specification GM 4673M, or its equivalent. Do not use EP Chassis Lube...Do not over-fill the gear housing. (This was taken directly from the GM Service Manual) "
I wished mine was as good as the above.. this will also stop in leak problems..

Or you can drill out your own bolt, tap it for the Zerk fitting then install the Zerk. That's a lot of work when it costs $18.00. Pack it yourself and save money.
