I got this bike last year. The air suspension has never worked, so I didn't know how many psi was in it, if any. That is fixed now and working fine.
I recently changed the back tire and I had let the air shock droop down. I hit the air button to see if the swing arm would move. This shock has never leaked oil before that I am aware of. Now it has leaked some oil out. Did I blow the seal? It's all put back together. I cleaned up the oil and it doesn't appear to be leaking oil or air. It's been holding 26psi for 2 weeks.
So I did get a new seal to rebuild it, but am dragging my feet,,,lol. I have this fluid on hand. I can't find the velocity of it. But I've read that atf is 10 and will work in our air shocks. But then I read the following. Just want to make sure this stuff will be ok? Thanks

Air shock acting strange. Is this ATF ok for my air shock?

Re: Air shock acting strange. Is this ATF ok for my air shock?
I used regular ATF (I think some Maxlife ATF) when I did my rear shock last year.
Here is a how to on it
