Shock oil

Post by Moggie May »

Hi everyone, hope you’re staying safe.
I need to top up the shock absorbers on my 63 two door moggy. Can anyone tell me what they use and what SAE/W is best.
Thanks .

Plenty of sound advice around over the years. Have you tried the search?

In addition to that accumulated knowledge - Millers Oils do two grades of specific 'Classic Shock Oil' which I've found perform very nicely. I have the light grade in the fronts although I'd perhaps choose the heavy if I didn't have a front anti-roll bar.
68' 4-door Saloon, another 'Monty'.
