AMSOIL Synthetic Shock
Oil
Shock Therapy Suspension Fluid #5 Light (STL)
AMSOIL Synthetic Shock Oil controls
friction, heat, wear, foaming and scuffing in suspension
components. High viscosity index and shear stability
performance control shock fade and inconsistent dampening
in temperature extremes.

PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION AMSOIL
Shock Therapy Suspension Fluids are formulated with
shear stable synthetic base stocks with high
viscosity indices. The complete additive package
reduces foaming, aeration and wear, while seal
conditioners are added to keep seals soft and
pliable. AMSOIL Shock Therapy Suspension Fluids have
been tested and proven to be superior, balanced
products recommended for a wide range of temperatures
and applications.
Controls Dampening and
Rebound AMSOIL
Shock Therapy Suspension Fluids are formulated to
make suspension systems more predictable. The base
stocks of AMSOIL Shock Therapy Suspension Fluids have
inherently high viscosity indices that effectively
maintain their viscosities, while their antifoam
agents reduce aeration and foam.
Reduces Friction and
Wear The constant friction within a shock body
decreases suspension performance. AMSOIL Shock
Therapy Suspension Fluid contains friction modifiers
to reduce the energy loss caused by friction, while
antiwear agents are added to protect shocks and forks
from premature wear.

Recommendations AMSOIL
Shock Therapy Suspension Fluids are recommended for
front forks and shocks on snowmobiles, motocross and
cruiser motorcycles, ATVs and other racing and
recreational use vehicles, as well as cars and trucks
that require their suspension systems to perform in
the most extreme conditions. It is recommended the
fluid be agitated before use.
AMSOIL Shock Therapy
Suspension Fluid is available in two different
viscosities.
AMSOIL Shock Therapy
Suspension Fluid Light #5 (STL) is recommended for, but not
limited to, Showa,® Kayaba,® Bilstein,® RydeFX,® Penske,®
WP® forks, RACETECH® (US1) and Custom Axis® suspension
systems. Use Shock Therapy Light #5 where less dampening
and quicker rebounds are desired. It is also the preferred
choice for winter use.
AMSOIL Shock Therapy
Suspension Fluid Medium #10 (STM) is recommended for, but not
limited to, Ohlin,® FOX,® RACETECH,® (US2), Koni,® WP®
shocks and Harley-Davidson® forks that recommend type
“E” or “B” fork oil. Use Shock Therapy Medium #10 where
more dampening control and slower rebounds are
desired.
