dashpot oil

["sujit roy" <sujitroy@hotmail.com>]

My Stag ROM mentions to use 10-40W engine oil in the dash pots.
Some people use general purpose lubricating oil in them instead.
I suppose the thicker the oil, more damping is introduced.
What pros and cons have people come across in using either type?
Also how mush oil should I use in the dashpots?
