newbie here...do I need to use the specific "shock fluid" in my lever shocks (from Moss or other place) or can I use a reasonable substitute easily found in my local auto parts store? Also, my front

Use a 20wt hydraulic jack oil, available in most hardware stores by the gallon...cheap. The shock typically pictured in parts catalogs is a very early style, more reminiscent of Healeys and MGAs. Yo

I use motorcycle fork oil. Forks are shocks. More expensive but didn't know about the 20wt hydraulic oil at the time. Walt Goddard waltcpa@sierra.net lever substitute of the Am I

I use this weird imported german 20W mineral oil... hideously expensive, but my corner auto-parts guy is an LBC fan too and said it's the best thing. Apparently it's still used in some sort of oddbal

Okay, here's a totally weird thought... Why not 20/50 engine oil? It's 20W oil at room temp, that thins out no more than straight 50W would under heat. So couldn't one say it's actually stabler (i.e.

On Wed, 14 Jun 2000 13:44:56 -0700 "Walt Goddard" <waltcpa@sierra.net> If you use motorcycle fork oil, get the kind with "seal sweller" in it. Might help to keep your shocks from leaking or to stop t

Engine oil and hydraulic oil have different properties: hydraulic has anti-foaming agents which are critical to this application. Bill

Since the chief function of the shock oil is hydraulic, rather than lubricant, a multi-viscosity oil doesn't sound right to me. Not to mention unnecessary additives, detergents, whatever. Besides, on

This thread reminds me of the story in Moss Motoring a while back about one guy's greatest mistakes in LBC ownership. One of them was thinking that, for stiffer shocks, heavier oil was the thing to d

I'm afraid that may be another piece of urban folklore, Chris! Back in the '70s, when I built my boat-tailed TD racecar, I filled the front shocks with straight STP on the advice of someone who said

Hey Chris, STP is a common shock fluid (well at least around the race track). Guaranteed slipery, and VERY thick. Larry Hoy
