Shock Oil
 

Can you use normal car oil in shocks? cos I have loads of that :)

Nope..I'd not recommend that at all... it's totally they wrong type of oil. Could even possibly dissolve you're shock parts...and you have no way to tune it really...

Cool, looks like I will have to get some proper stuff, what do you recommend? need to fill at least 8 bigbores possibly 10.

30 and 35 wt silicon shock oil. Either Losi or Associated brand

I'd suggest Losi, Schuy or Ansmann Shock oil as you get a fair amount of oil for the price. I use mainly Schumacher oils... Losi is cool as it's coloured :D

schumacher oil tends to come up a bit thinner than other brands for the same weight. 35 schumacher is similar to 30 losi

Thanks for all your help ppl, I will get some oils tomorrow :)
