Default Aluminum Shocks

So my aluminum shocks arrived yesterday but I do not have any oil to put in them. Since my LHS is not open and I am dying to install and run with the shocks. Are there any substitutes for shock oil versus buying from a hobby shop? Anything at Autozone or Wal-Mart that would work? Would any silicone oil do? I probably should just wait until I have the right stuff but wanted to ask just in case.
