i was wondering if motor oil will be too thick for the shock oil? Lets say a 5w30? or 0w20?

thats funny, i had a stad. truck i did motor oil in back when i lived in il. it actually works but is messy and not as good as the real deal oil that is only 3 bucks per 2oz bottle. just stick with real shock oil

I have used ATF fluid and used hydraulic jack oil and never had an issue with it Now for speeding up or slowing down piston travel I use rc silicone oil which is specified for our shocks |

For what you posted about your setup I would try in the 30wt to 50wt range.

I ran 70wt up front and some 1000wt diff oil in the rear. It worked pretty good but I'd go with a little thinner fluid though.
