![]() ![]() It's calculated based on the kinematic viscosities of the oil at 100*C and 40*C (roughly 210*F and 100*F), compared to a reference oil with a VI of 100. A number called the Viscosity Index (VI) is the measure of an oil's temperature stability. The viscosity of a hydraulic oil changes with temperature (hence the reported cold weather dump truck ride). I'm a mechanical engineer, but this is not my area of expertise, I had to do some reading. Here are my findings.īottom Line Up Front: Maxima Racing Shock Fluid 7wt is a winner in these shocks.įirst, a little technical schooling on hydraulic oils. I chose my own shock oil and filled/charged them myself. Given that I live somewhere cold, I was concerned about this. Before I ordered my 2.5" Kings from DamageWagon, I heard stories about how King shocks ride like a dump truck in the cold. ![]()
