40 Buick shock oil???????

Just curious what to use to service the shocks on a 40 Buick. I don't imagine the AC Declo shock oil the manual calls out is still availble. I'm guessing AFT or hydraulic fliud?

Thanks

I'd use motorcycle fork oil.

 

Macs sells the oil for Ford shocks. Maybe check them out.

I got this from a website on these shocks one time, but I can't remember where. Anywho, their reccomendation was a 50/50 mix of hydraulic jack oil and STP Oil Treatment. I have been using that ever since and it has worked well...

 

i have a 48 buick and i had them rebuilt at apple hyd. they said use regular hyd jack oil in them ......
