For many applications, this is a true statement. In some cases, though, it really matters what oil or lube you put in. My Ford Superduty w hydroboost made noise on 3 different pumps until I put synthetic ATF in it. Some PS pumps are sensitive to oil. With a hydro system, it seems to be compounded, IME.
Best of luck w it. I’m actually installing the Redhead steering gearbox in my truck as we speak, I started the job in the afternoon and had to suspend operations to go rescue my neighbors whose car broke down 20 miles away. I think I’ll start another thread about that.
