Both technicians are correct. Technician A is correct in suggesting a lighter weight oil like 75W for cold conditions to ensure smoother operation of the steering gear. Technician B is correct in stating that a heavier oil like 90W can lead to hard steering in certain conditions, as thicker oils can increase resistance within the steering mechanism, especially in colder temperatures.
