What do you guys recommend for these shocks ? Plain hydraulic oil ? The book says "low viscosity #822537... there are no substitutes for this oil." Wow ! It must have been pretty good stuff.

I have no leaks or anything and I hopefully won't need any but thought I'd check the levels to be safe. Car's a '32.

I'm currently trying to coax the top filler port open. She being real stubborn. Thanks guys


If it ain't broke…..fix it 'til it is.

Hydraulic jack oil works great. Use it in all of my shock absorbers.
