what shock oil is everyone running?

[victorylaptires]

what is your set up on the shock oil

 

[savagecre]

Well for me on the stock shocks I used 20wt. but On my integy shocks I'm going to use 30wt. I did use straight 30 wt motor oil once in the stock savage shocks cuz I could not believe the price they wanted for this little tube of oil Silicone oil or not...we are being ripped off i think. but now I have sercomed to the shock oil perchase.........damb they got me.

[thrasher6]

Stealth Attack, are you running synthetic motor oil in your shocks?

I'm pretty sure that was what he meant when he said:

I think he just abbreviated synthetic with a bad spelling (happens a lot around here).

If you decide to change the oil in your stock shocks to a silicone type, be sure that you completely remove the stock oil. Be sure to get all the fluid and residue out (I like to use spray electronic cleaner), as the stock oil is not compatable with silicone.

If you mix the two, I guarantee it will give you fits!

Moto, I did not know this. What does it do when mixxed? I actually did it and run my truck mixed but it doesnt have alot of time on it this way. I also purchesed the truck used so it could have been silicone in the first plate but anyhow what does it do?

 

[oregonmud]

It gets milky and white and changes viscocity. nasty stuff. Ewww

 

[Larsenracing]

O, mine must have been changed right as its not milky at all. Good to know.

 

[MotoPsycho]

Yeah, Oregon is right - it kinda coagulates and I believe the white color is just aeriation (trapped micro bubbles) that it develops, and can't dissipate.
