<P>Motor oils and hydraulic oils have different "scales". SAE(scale)20W
flows like ISO(scale) AW68 Actually closer to 25W
AW68 is designed as an hydraulic oil, and would be preferred to motor oil.
Certainly SAE20 can be used. A better choice would be the AW68.....
available at farm/tractor type stores eg. Tractor Supply.

<P>You should only add oil to a shock if it shows signs of leaking. Be careful
that you do not fill it absolutely full.... there needs to be an air space for
expansion. Armstrong designed the filler plugs and locations to make it
difficult to overfill, but people have found ways.</P>
