PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Shock Therapy Suspension Fluid is 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
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.
