PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
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.
