March 29, 200322 yr comment_31902 :classic: The best source I know of is ztherapy.com What wt. oil are you using ? Here in the US 20wt is difficult to find . I use 20w becaue I have found it works the best in my car, and it is what was recommended by the factory. I have tried all sorts of different oils and the 20w is what I use. I found 20w at the motor cycle shop and it is used in the front forks. Here it is called fork oil. good luck:classic: Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/5330-su-dashpot-clearance/#findComment-31902 Share on other sites More sharing options...
