WaterExactly where are you getting your Bad RC advice dude?
Bookface or worse???
Stop cheaping out, use silicone shock oils already.
Why would you buy upgrade shocks and skimp on the proper oil?????????????
No. Don't use anyting else.
Start learning more about RC shocks and how they work. They are not there for "Show".
You "have NOT heard anything on Marvel mystery oil". It's a mystery what's in that stuff anyway. It will destroy the silicone shock seals. That won't be a mystery when it does.
Well I have not heard anything about using "water" in shocks also. Does that mean it's ok to do???
>>>>>>>>>>>I would start with 550 cst. Yes. Buy TA Green Slime O -ring grease for the reassembly. Protek Blue O ring grease is great also as another option. They protects the o-rings. And keeps the shocks from leaking the silicone oil.
But if you are against using proper RC oil, KY silicone personal lube will also work. You should have some lying around.

There was some good as well as bad advice in that video.
Try this one. I would follow Adam Drake. All of his shock videos.
