Origanally Armstrong Shock Oil was recomemded; however I've been using
power steering sealer & conditioner as it also keeps the rubber seals
soft and working. I was using dextron until I me a guy at the Pittsburg
show who had a shock leaking and he used the sealer. The shock stopped
leaking and the last I heard he was still running the same shocks.
