Hey guys,
I need to fill a total of 24 savage shocks and 8 of them have the piggyback reserve.Im looking at a 2 oz. bottle of silicone 25wt shock oil on ebay for 2.69 each.How many of these will need fill all my shocks?Is this a good type of oil?Do you know of a better deal somewhere else?

Thanx...

I'm not sure about how many bottles you need, but I use 25w in the front and 30w in the rear. I found that the 5w difference seems to level the truck off and improve the way it handles.

I just got finished building my savage 4.6 ss, and the shocks. I bought two 2oz. bottles of team associated shock oil (20 wt. for the front, and 25 wt. for the rear. I have about half or a little ore than half left in each bottle. So one two ounce bottle will do about eight savage size shocks. I would get four bottles to be safe, three would cut it extremely close. I could get you some team associated shock oil for $2.45 per bottle plus shipping. I own a few Hobbytown Usa's in the Ohio and Kentucky area, so I can get some items discounted, and pass the savings onto you. Just let me know!!!!
