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.
