Sorry, Rick, to be critical, but if you go to a motorcycle shop and ask for
fork oil, they are going to ask you "what weight". Fork oil comes in weights
from 5 to 30 with increments of 2.5 in the lower ranges! Obviously, the thin
stuff is pretty close to the consistency of water and would be no use in a
car shock absorber.
Your reply would have been more complete if you'd said "20 wt. motorcycle
fork oil" or even 30 wt. if the shocks are old and tired.
