The only cautionary note I would have with aftermarket fluid in 2013+ SHOs is that DOT 4 LV is specified. This fluid is low viscosity, and meant to improve ABS/traction control in lower temps. There are a couple of mfrs that make compliant fluid, but match up specs to be sure.
No LV (Love) Z
Thanks Manu!
I used Pentosin on my German imports with Good results!
