When I ordered my MZ353 shocks, oild was already in them. If the shocks you purchased for your Overland are the GPM's, then they should already have oil in them. If they are Kyosho, then use a lighter shock oil if there isn't oil in them already.

I've heard #400 oil recommended, but I don't know what "weight" that is. I don't think it's necessary to change the oil. Generally, GPM parts are the best third-party (non-Kyosho) parts you can buy.
