The
10W-40 (AMF) motorcycle oil was a great benefit all season.
It provided longer life to our race engines. With other conventional petroleum-based oils
we had to change the oil after every race weekend. With the AMSOIL in our bikes, we
changed the oil after three weekends. That saves our team time and money in preparation
and maintenance during the season. The AMSOIL also allowed our engines to run 5-10 degrees
cooler during each race, which allows us to make more horsepower.

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.
