Hi Tom
The oil currently am using is 15W ( a secret recipe from Proven products ). I bought it, well they sold it to me when I bought a kit to rebuild the Koni's which are in my shed at the last Barry as it goes.. so I figured would use the oil in the Ceriani's instead.
Reckon it runs around just under 1/2 a cup per shock ( 100 ml ), done two sets and still have a bit more than half the bottle left and its a litre bottle ..
Here's what I do, start by kind of filling the shock bodies to almost the top then put the piston and rod in and slowly push them to the bottom, which sees the excess oil spill out Good to put a rag under or try to catch the oil..... Then I like to let a little more seep out as I get the cap on and slowly tighten it down. I know not really scientific but it seems to work asyou gotta try to get just the minimum out as you don't want an air gap.
Seem to remember another post about Ceriani rear shocks and oils so maybe if you search you can find it as there is most likely a better way to do it.
