Re: shocks or levers "survey"
Yep. ... just fine, but that is the max. Motor oil is OK. If you can find (motorcycle)fork oil, that is better and easier to find. (it wasn't as prevalent 30 years ago.) The non-detergent doesn't matter.
The downside is that you will generate more heat. I prefer to adjust the valves by changing springs.

I used the HD shock valves from moss. Like the results. Think they were only $20
