Getting as much as you can out oughta do. Hold the shock upside down over a garbage can and pump it a few times, then pump the piston into a shop rag a few more times so the piston can scrape the last of it off the walls of the shock body and the rag absorbs it

Try a 45 or 50, 60 will be too thick.
