[V8] Power steering hoses

[dsaad at icehouse.net]

I switched over to Chevron "RYKON Premium 32", which is a direct cross to the
Mobil DTE-13M (because Mobil oil is harder for me to get). So far no problems -
even in the cold. In fact, I would swear that the steering feels smoother with
this oil - but then I had "Pentosin LHM" equivelent oil in there before and it
is pretty light.
There is also a "RYKON Premium 16" which is a lighter oil if you live in
Antarctica or something. The datasheet for this oil is online if you are so
inclined to compare specs.
