[QUOTE="TRD, post: 647122, member: 11247"] The "weight" of an oil is actually not a very good measure of the viscosity, so I wouldn't get too hung up on that. I generally recommend sticking with the factory oil because it's proven to work well with the seals and piston. If you want something other than Walker Evans oil: Fox makes the best oil by far, and I would put it in any brand shock. Amsoil and Redline are good too. King oil is ok (I used the same oil in Harley Davidson shocks). ATF was the go to oil back when off-road racing shocks started getting developed. [/QUOTE]
