Rack lubrication

Am i going senile
Ime sure i read somewhere that you have to lubricate the rack bar through where the centralising bung is with a thick oil
I cant find where i read it, everyone i asked looks at me like ime going mad ( including the supplier ) but i dont want to prematurely wear my shiny new rack

I looked at the service manual and this is the page for the NA (Not Turbo) rack which isn't powered:

This page mentions lube at the pinion area...
I only did the one page since the Turbo / power rack gets lubed by the PS fluid
