Hi there...What type of fluid goes into the front shocks. Per the shop manual, mine are down a bit.

ALSO, what color should the shock absorbers be? I am thinking a matte grey, similar to the intake manifold.

Thanks
Gar

Refill with common hydraulic oil, I use a Mobil product but there are many brands on the market. In a pinch, hydraulic jack oil should also be satisfactory. I can't comment with authority on color but I'd be extremely surprised if they weren't painted with chassis black.

The shocks were painted along with the chassis so were black.
