What oil to use?

[AtaNaS]

Hello ppl,
i have bought the following shocks
http://www.rcxshop.com/product_info.php?cPath=23_25&products_id=405
and i was wondering what oil (if you can tell me for the tornado oils)
should i use to have a smooth off-road play with them.

I also want to mention that on the top there are no ball ends
and they are stable. is this a problem and i should modify them?
they got ball end only on the bottom ends.

thanx in advance 😉

I would start w/ a 30 wt oil. What I have always ran anyway
I Think you should be able to use your stock ball ends

How any did you buy did you get 4 sets ? They say a set is 2 .. for 80 bucks you can get a set of hip big bores

I know when i bought them i had seen the big bore
but i hadn't realised that i needed 4 of them and not 8 so...
i bought the gpm ones ;(

i agree with jeremy 30wt silicone shock fluid is a good place to start then if its to soft maybe go 35wt or so.. the reason i say silicone shock fluid is it always stays the same consistency whether its cold or warm " doesnt get thick when cold or runny when hot"
