Default swivel pin housing oil

I am about to replace the axle shafts in 96 D1. Rave says to drain and later replace the oil at the swivel pin housing with recommended oil. What oil is recommended?
TIA,

at some point in time Land Rover changed the required fluid from gear lube to a grease....part # stc3435g or stc3435 at Atlantic British (roverparts.com) the grease is less likely to leak out

This is what you need, it is also called "00" grease, you can get it at your Snapper dealer, they use it in the differentials on Snapper lawnmowers.
It is just a really thin grease.

They went to grease because the soccer moms complained of oil drips on the driveway. 90w or 85w140 is the gear oil to use if you want to go with gear oil.
