Description: Oil in Air Shocks


I drained the oil from the shocks again and filled them with 60 ml of 15W-50 synthetic oil. I found that the 70 ml of oil made it just a little too stiff. With the 60 ml I can adjust the air pressure as needed and put in 40 psi which gave me the most option. Soft ride at 40 psi, dampener at 1 and stiff ride at dampener setting of 4 suitable for 2 folks. Lets face it, air is easier to adjust than oil. It is easy to add the oil but a pain to remove. A strange note though, even though the oil had been in the shocks for less than a day, it had already turned black. I assume that it is because of the bladder. I am guessing that the bladders are made of material similar to inner tubes and that would explain the dark color of the oil.
