A method of servicing a shock strut of a landing gear includes partially filling the shock strut with fresh oil and pressurizing the chamber with gas. The pressurizing is to a pressure level that compensates for expected gas pressure loss due to gas entrainment in the oil during operation of the shock strut. The method can be performed without weight on wheels, with weight on wheels and a constant strut stroke, or weight on wheels and a constant pressure.
