[QUOTE="DEANSFASTWAY, post: 746600, member: 31309"] NO HAND I was referring to using the 2.5 wt in the T/Cs to tune for lighter feel on like an enduro setup you dont want to use some shock oils as some of them have a reaction to other oils and or atmosphere or oxygen Bel Ray shock oil gets real sticky when it hits the air . Sticky enough to cause big big drag and chunk and burn up seals.Bel Ray is a really good brand and Ive been using for a long time but if you used the shock oil in forks itwould cause you some problems with the larger seal swept area as its just so large there would be so much drag. I think the guy that tried it was thinking the same thing as you when he put the BelRay in the T/Cs and burned up like ??? sets of seals and increased his comeback ratio quite extensively that summer.I think the Silkylene stuff is dual purpose suspension fluid. Ill take a peek. If youre seeking to cost less alot of people use cheaper ATF in the outer chambres of T/Cs but I just like to use quality stuff and not mix and match too much Some other thread was referring to Mobil 0w30 in the outer chamber. Theres also a wide array of really good and costly Hydraulic oils that are available for Bulldozers and loaders that are available . I knew this guy that was a CAT loader mechanic that had some real trick hyd oils that were full synth. It was good stuff and that stuff is meant for severe duty and no foaming all different weights and uses.I used to work on Renault Cars at a dealer years ago and the small auto trans that these cars had would really cook the trans oil They had a real problem with foaming also . The trans only held about 3 qts oil. When foamed up the trans would whine and shudder and bang on drive or reverse and Renault came out with this 1 0z bottle of pure silicone that we added to the trans oil and the problem ceased . It also worked well in the power steering racks . Im no oil expert by any means Id really like to find out more myself about this stuff . Wilkey is right, he knows alot about oils, he knows the people at Mobil research plant in Illinois and has tested alot of their products of which alot more are available than what you can buy at the Auto Zone. I think Maxima a good brand weve used their 927 alot with gas and with Alky fuels. Ronnie Lechein was really a smooth rider I remembered he came to E town alond time ago and was sleeping before his moto and they woke him up and rushed to the gate and he walked everybody. [/QUOTE]
