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