ABW's install manual doesn't seem to show which oil I should use in the new Oleo Struts.
What am I supposed to be running? I have a brand new strut spring too from Maule going in
the Airframes Alaska Oleo Strut.
Thanks,

Re: Which Oleo Strut Oil for ABW EXTENDED GEAR?
Your Maule maintenance manual calls for Full cylinder of Ford hydraulic oil No. M-4964-B or equivalent SAE 90 hydraulic oil.
The cylinders must be full, a slow job as the air has to get out as oil is put in especially if the spring has been assembled such that a coil is across the oil entry.
A syringe can be of help in that case.
Be sure to check that the oleo springs are matching parts and are equal length otherwise the airplane will not sit laterally level.
