At the risk of opening a can of worms here...
Front left shock on my MGB has gone dry. In the past, it seems like 20W motor oil was a suggestion for refilling these shocks.
Since then, I've read a few other alternatives, such as hydraulic jack oil, Harley Davidson fork oil... Trouble is, I have had no luck finding the former, and none of what's available through an HD dealer is 20W. Heaviest I could find was a 15W: Screamin' Eagle Fork Oil: Heavy. Supposedly, they have the same in Racing weight, but when I asked about it, they acted like they had no idea. You'd think that Northern Tool or Harbor Freight would have something given that they sell hydraulic jacks in there, but I found nothing.
I'm not sure where I got the last quart of 20W motor oil that I have. It's quite low now, maybe enough to treat the carb dashpots a few more times.
This is a frustrating problem. Should I just order it through amazon? Looks like they stock it, at least.
Thank you,
