What type of oil are you running with them and how much per strut.I have the stockers out and the strut and new springs ready to go in the morning.



Thanks

Any motor oil is fine, even used oil. I forget how much (its in the shop manual), some will overflow out the top when you drop the cartridge in (BTW lower it slowly). This insures no air gap between the strut body and cartridge.

Thanks Carl.

oil?? wat oil?? lol



oops

fill with oil?! Was I supposed to fill my illuminas with oil before installing them? Sure hope not!

the oil doesnt actually go in the tokiko inserts themselves just in the strut housing(I think it helps to keep the inserts cooler or something)

its optional, i dont remember if i did it or not

In my instructions it says to fill the housing with oil before you install them.Acts like a second dampner.
