there is a fill point on the cylinder itself, the manual says to keep in an upright position but i just did it on the ground. i thought at first it was either the flat-head cap or the hex-key but those are NOT it!! those are adjustments and the hex-key contains ball-bearings!! (if you have happened to take them off and tip it sideways and the bearings fall out, the smaller bearing goes in first ;) lol ) I also found it easier to put the handle back in, with the jack all the way lowered let the handle drop to the ground, on the cylinder you will see a little "hump", that is the fill spot, it's just a rubber plug painted silver to match the jack. i used a flat-head to pop it off, i just guessed on how much to put in, i think i added a quarter qt bottle, otherwise put the plug back in and test it after adding so much at a time.

(note, it will still jack slow if there is no load (weight) on it, also if it jacks up fine but takes a long time to release or go down, that's a sign of "over-filling"- try to avoid that and empty some out if that happens)

No, you should not use motor oil in a hydraulic jack. Hydraulic jacks are designed to operate with specific hydraulic fluid that has the necessary properties for proper function, such as viscosity and anti-wear characteristics. Using motor oil can lead to improper operation, damage the jack, and void any warranties. Always refer to the manufacturer's recommendations for the correct fluid type.

When changing front shocks on a 91 2wd Ranger where should you place your jack stand and where should I put my hydraulic floor jack to initialy lift the front end?

You need to place the floor jack under the actual beam of the car frame. This is where 2 jacks may have to be put into play. You will need to jack up the car high enough to be able to release the old shocks from their bases. You may have to put a jack on blocks to jack the car high enough to achieve this. Put your stands on very stable blocks under the frame as well.
