I will assume you have the correct damper (vented or non-vented) for the ap=
plication.Most people I know fill the dash pot damper tube by filling it up=
to the top of the tube. That is over filling. As soon as you insert the da=
mper an amount of oil is displaced. When you remove the damper the oil leve=
l looks low, but it is not. To test the oil level insert the damper into th=
e tube. At first the damper will go in easily, then you will sense resistan=
ce as you continue to insert it. That point is the level of the oil. Unless=
you are racing the car you should use the recommended oil for this applica=
tion. Having to fill them every 2 tanks if gas, if they are actually loosin=
g that much oil, is excessive.=C2=A0I would remove the dash pots, piston & =
damp. Examine them closely.=C2=A0Gary

At least after every 2 tanks of gas driving time.
Not accurately checked standing time with no driving.
Where does the oil go ? Makes no difference what grade that I use.
Thoughts ?
