what is the weight of the oil in the stock savage 25 shocks??what weight do you people recommend??

ed260z

The stock Savvy uses 10wt oil. I've personally used all the way up to 90wt, but I found that 30wt is good for all around bashing. If your going to keep it on the street most of the time you may want to go a little higher.

I thought it used 45wt as standard as i went down to 25wt for racing and found it was more plush

ed260z

According to the manual it's 10wt. But heavier oil should have given you a firmer ride.

i just got 30wt for my savy, and its so much better than stock. the truck now lands with authority and doesn't bounce. it is much more controllable

ed260z

Yehh. I was using 80wt, but found that it was to stiff off the jumps. If you change from the stock shocks to Al you may want to play with the oil weight also. (+/-20wt)

Depends on what brands you use also. AE's 80 wt may not be the same 80 wt for LOSI. Stay with the same brand when tuning your shocks.

I stick with AE's oil. They seem to have the best rating for quality.

I was looking at changing the oil in mine (stock) to 30wt..........but how many bottles will i need ??

ed260z

1 bottle is all you need. Infact you should have a little left over.
Just don't make the same mistake I did. And leave the shafts all the way down when you fill it up. The shaft should be all the way up before you put on the cap.

Sound...........thanks for the advice............little tips like that help so much.
