Can I use motorcycle fork oil in the struts?

I'm sure I can, but what weight is stock, and what volume do I put in?
All my manuals say to buy the tokico kit and don't give any other details. One of my axles got bent from an idiot in a mustang who understeered into me and the replacement strut I have is apart. So I figured I'd up the weight of the oil and stiffen up the shocks while I rebuild them.

Time for some testing!!!!! We used to fine tune the forks on my old road race bike by varying the viscosity and amount. A buddy who road raced an MGB did the same. Start with 30 wieght...........fork oil/shock oil is cheap.
