I used Marvel Mystery Oil. It does'nt take alot. I forgot what the FSM says, but I added enough so it goes up to 3/4 the way up the strut tube with the strut cartridge installed.
Wouldn't leaving the boot off cool them considerably--without oil? Also, I would assume if you use the oil, you would want a good boot fastened very well.
