TurboFurball Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 A pair of my shocks are way too stodgy, where's a good place to get some light oil for them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurboFurball Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share Posted February 21, 2015 Cool, thanks! After asking the question I had a brainwave, I have some 5w oil kicking around that I could just throw in to try ... if that turns out too thin at least I'll have a frame of reference, but you never know it might be right, lol I could also try some of the 5W30 engine oil I have around too (since at room temp it'll be a bit stickier than the 5w), or mix them since they're both dino juice. Experimenting with homebrew solutions is fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big turbo Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 When you say stodgy to me that means to soft?? 5wt will be very thin indeed. what are the shocks for?? I've used cooking oil in the past as a temp fix while waiting for proper silicone shock oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboFurball Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 Stodgy to me usually means full of fat and sets like concrete, lol The shocks are for my CC01, I'll bear the cooking oil idea in mind ... might make my truck smell a bit weird though, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
