shock oil

[MGBnutt@aol.com]

Someone asked about shock oil recently (sorry, I can't find the e-mail).

My old (circa 1977) Haynes manual specifies checking the front and rear 
dampers every 6,000 miles and topping up "...with 'Armstrong Super (Thin) Shock 
Absorber Fluid No. 624'. Alternately, if this is not available, use a quality 
mineral oil such as Castrol of an SAE 20 W rating."

Hope this helps!
