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.
