That's what I used in my Stromberg and still do in my twin SU and always used in
the UK cars I had. In fact that's what's listed in the manuals as the standard,
although many alternatives are used - atf, 3-in-1, 5W30 etc etc. The viscosity 
of
the oil affects the speed at which the damper moves and thus the acceleration.
There's been lots of threads on thsi in teh past that I am sure you can find in
teh archives.
