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. <o:p></o:p></p><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.<o:p></o:p></p><p>Peter C<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>On 8/15/2017 9:44 AM, Fred Wescoe wrote:<o:p></o:p></p></div><blockquote style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt'><div><p class=MsoNormal>The shocks on my 66 BJ8 need oil.
