Shock absorber fluid?

[Justin Cook <justincook@yahoo.com>]

Just what is this "shock absorber fluid"?  I assume it comes from the
same place as "turn signal fluid."  Can I put 90 weight oil in these
shocks or what?

Also any advice on replacing the front shocks?  I just ordered a
rebuilt pair from the BPC, and I'm not looking forward to putting them
on.

While on the subject of fluids, my haynes manual says to put 50 weight
motor oil in the gearbox.  Any reason I shouldn't put gear oil in the
gearbox (90 weight).

Thanks,
Justin
