Just done the same thing, filled the cylinder to the filler plug level and replaced the piston. Nowhere near 10 oz. but it's up to proper level. Also installed the 7/16" collar to raise the tail. To compress the donuts to get the snap ring back in I made two steel bars, 5/8x1 1/2x6, drilled 2 (5/16") holes ( thru the 1 1/2" side) in each bar 4" apart. used threaded rod to connect the bars and placed on top and bottom of strut assy. easy job to compress donuts and get snap ring back in place. Since I have the rubber cup seals, the proper fluid to use is DOT-3 Automotive.
