In the ftp archives I have read that lever shocks can be filled with various
oils incl Armstrong, Girling, STP, 20/20 motor oil, fork oil etc. Obviously
some of these may be more easily available than others. My questions are: Can
I just top up my shocks - perhaps using oil that is different from what is
already in there (I assume Armstrong but don't know) or should one perform a
complete exchange transfusion? Any hints / suggestions on doing this job would
be appreciated. The Haynes manual does not even mention shock fluid top - ups.
My shocks are pretty bad and I' hoping for something short of replacement.
Thanks
