When a person buys an airplane he/she should look through the paperwork to see 337's and STC's that have been done to the plane. The mechanic also must look through them. Skyport's MLG mod should be in there if it has been done, and then brake fluid would be used. If not, mineral oil. When my mechanic and I put Skyport's mod in my MLG he suggested that I have decals made that say "Service Struts with Brake Fluid Only" and attach them to the MLG fairings. I haven't done it yet, but it is a good idea. Actually, I'm using motorcycle silicone brake fluid, as it (reportedly) has less tendency to collect water.
