I'm in the same boat with an X1.

I did find this here but no info on oil type or quantity.

my local bike guy said 7 wight is good so I filled it up as he recommended then closed her up and bleed it a we bit then used my car pump and got about 80 PSI in there its nearly there but need a pump that is capable of 200Psi and I think I'll be good to go . hopefully it doesn't blow up haha

Excellent. Not done owt with mine yet but it's moving up the do list. Might be another job for the Lidl compressor!
