Smudge053 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 First what is the difference between wt oil and viscosities.i understand that the numbers correspond to the thickness of the oil lower the number the thinner the oil. Fg run viscosities silicone oil 1000-5000 etc etc And other brands use wt (weight) 15-90 etc etc If I have fg shocks can I only use fg viscosities oil Any help on in-lighting me on this would be great. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samshirley001 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Weight is just another way of measuring the thickness of shock oils, but unlike CST, weight isnt a standard, and varies from manafacturer. most shock oil is from 5-60wt, what is about 250-800cst. for a fg, you might want something like 40wt in the front, and 15-20 in the rear, what is about 450cst front, and 300cst rear. anything more than 1000 is used in the diffs for a car, and is usually only in CST ranging from 1000cst all the way up to 2.5 million cst. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
