They were filled with brake fluid.
If it is completely dry such as the parts all replaced some guys use hydraulic jack oil.....but it will not mix with brake fluid (which removes paint)

If you can completely clean the system, the folks I bought my top cylinders from recommended using automatic transmission fluid.
