| 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.
Product
Availability AMSOIL Shock Therapy Suspension Fluids are available
in quarts and 5-gallon pails.
