Air Hydraulic cylinder

Ok this is not in the TM but i found this in Military Vehicles issue 91 2000 it says you need to put one ounce of OHT oil in it (MIL-H-6083) this to permit lubrication of the air piston cylinder the oht is a petroleum base hydraulic oil And the oil should have no additives in it keep it from attacking the rubber seals It says this is the problem with the air pack not working
