AMSOIL Shock Therapy Suspension Fluid - Lightweight
Grade
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Shock Therapy Lightweight Grade is
recommended for applications that demand quick rebounds
under extreme temperatures.
AMSOIL Shock Therapy Suspension Fluids
are formulated for maximum stability and high performance.
High quality synthetic basestocks and high viscosity
indices provide unparalleled shear stability. AMSOIL
Shock Therapy Suspension Fluid controls friction and
heat, reduces wear and scuffing and prevents fade
more effective than conventional fluids can. AMSOIL
Shock Therapy Suspension Fluid has been tested in
the lab and against the competition and proven to
be of the highest quality at a wide range of temperatures
and applications.
Controls Dampening and Rebound
With AMSOIL Shock Therapy Suspension
Fluid, viscosity remains constant and aeration and
foam are greatly reduced, significantly limiting shock
fade and inconsistent dampening. AMSOIL Shock Therapy
Suspension Fluid (STL & STM) is formulated for
fade-free dampening and smooth rebounds in many racing
and recreational applications, reducing rider fatigue
and enabling the driver to ride longer and harder
while keeping focused on the terrain ahead.
Reduces Friction and Wear
Constant friction in a shock body
decreases suspension performance while causing scuffing
and wear on the inner walls. AMSOIL Shock Therapy
Suspension Fluid contains friction modifiers to reduce
frictional energy loss and heat buildup. Anti-wear
agents protect against premature scuffing and wear,
while maintaining proper suspension absorption.
Temperature and Performance
AMSOIL Shock Therapy Suspension Fluid
features high pour and flash points, maintaining its
ability to provide superior protection in both high
and low temperature extremes. It is highly resistant
to volatility, avoiding breakdown and resisting the
buildup of sludge and deposits.
Maintains Seal Pliability
AMSOIL Shock Therapy Suspension Fluid
includes seal conditioners, keeping seals soft and
pliable and extending their service life.

Recommendations
AMSOIL Shock Therapy Suspension
Fluid is recommended for front forks and shocks
in snowmobiles, motocross and cruiser motorcycles,
ATV's and other racing and recreational use vehicles.
Two different formulations are available: The lightweight
grade (STL) is recommended, but not limited to,
Showa, Kayaba, Bilstein, RydeFX, Penske, WP forks,
RACETECH (US1) and Custom Axis suspension systems
that demand quick rebounds under extreme hot and
cold weather applications, while the medium grade
(STM) can be used in Ohlin, FOX, RACETECH (US2),
Koni, WP shocks and Harley-Davidson forks that recommend
type "E" or "B" fork oils, as
well as other applications that require more dampening
and slower rebounds. Refer to the owner's manual
for individual capacities, proper disassembly and
further recommendations. Owner's manuals may refer
to weights when recommending suspension oil. These
weight numbers are arbitrary because no industry
standard exists for classifying suspension oil.
The numbers can range from 2.5 to 30, depending
on the manufacturer. AMSOIL STL correlates closely
to a 5 weight, while AMSOIL STM is close to a 10
weight.
Compatibility
AMSOIL STL and STM can be mixed
together based on individual requirements and applications,
and they are compatible with most other suspension
fluids.
Product Availability
AMSOIL Shock Therapy Suspension
Fluids are available in quarts and 5-gallon pails.
