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
anti-wear 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.
