I ( not knowing any better ) put 20/50 in eveything
shocks, dashpots, crankcase, tranny, and was very happy with the
handling. Keep in mind I had custom level bushings that gave me
about 1 degree neg. camber ( short length of 10,000 psi hydraulic line)
The end result was a small amount of oversteer, and firm road response,
just enough to do a 100' radius turn at 60 mph comfortably ( a buddies
best shot at that turn with his 93 beamer would only get him 53 mph :)
Jack oil is recomended, but it's your car, and "oil" seems to work
fine.
