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.
