Koni's are usually a basic 32-68wt hydraulic oil, nothing fancy.
If you want to upgrade them to a better oil then a good 10w or so multigrade shock oil will make them more consistant with temperature - RSF in 7.5 or 10wt is usually a good choice - ATF is a little too thin for a Koni and tends to have a pretty poor VI.
If you're using mineral/semi synth oils that you already have, fork oil is probably better as it's less likely to foam, but expect it to fade under hard use.
