service manual says I need to use nissan genuine strut fluid or equivalent

when replacing front struts the service manual says I need to use nissan genuine strut fluid or equivalent ... what are the equivalents? ... some guy said he used ATF ... can i use mobil 1 10w30 oil? ... I like to put something better than original or is the genuine strut fluid the best stuff out there?

unless you're using the stock shocks, don't worry about it.
