Atf in a shock

[XXX Adrenaline Spo]

Hey Ya'll,
Im getting ready to rebuild my rear shock on a 88 TRX 250R 4 wheeler but I was wondering, If im going to use ATF does it have to be "Mobil 1" and why is this?? Why cant I just use any ole' Dexron 3 trans fluid. Does it really matter??

Oh BTW, If im to use Mobil 1 Syn ATF what type of Mobil 1 Syn ATF am I supposed to use?? Chrysler specific? Ford specific? import etc??

Im looking forward to hearing about this.

Thanks in advance.

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming ... wow, what a ride!

Why not shock oil? Probly cheaper than Mobile syn ATF.

I would recomend Motorex SD1 The Atf had a run, but chemistry and exsperenice have proven that the M1ATF is not as good.
