The disc Eldo has sealed dampeners like the Tonti-framed bikes, the oil
is only for lubrication of the moving parts. Dextron ATF is normally
used in this case. Cheers,

Hi Scott,

You are going to get a number of recommendations on this
one...personally I would use something like 30 weight fork oil. But I've

heard of guys using everything from 10 weight up to 50 weight (in
standard motorcycle fork oil, ATF fluid, or straight engine oil). I
think the general rule is that the heavier weight oil will provide more
damping.
