TECHNOFLUID SHOCK ABSORBER OIL
Shock Absorber / Suspension Fluid
(2.5W, 5W, 7.5W, 10W, 15W, 20W & 30W)TECHNOFLUID Shock Absorber Oil is a premium-quality suspension and shock absorber fluid formulated for smooth, consistent and reliable damping performance.
Designed for automotive and two-wheeler shock absorbers, telescopic forks and other hydraulic suspension systems where controlled viscosity, thermal stability and seal compatibility are required.
Available in a range of viscosity grades to provide different damping characteristics according to vehicle and suspension requirements.
Provides good oxidation resistance, low foaming tendency, excellent low-temperature fluidity and consistent performance across a wide operating temperature range.
Grades Available
2.5W (10–15 cSt), 5W (15–20 cSt), 7.5W (20–25 cSt) @ 40°C.
10W (30–35 cSt), 15W (45–50 cSt) @ 40°C.
20W (60–70 cSt), 30W (90–110 cSt) @ 40°C.
Suspension-oil 'weight' labels vary between manufacturers — kinematic viscosity is the preferred basis for selecting an equivalent fluid.
Key Benefits
Consistent, predictable damping across the operating temperature range.
