Can shock oil go off?
Just finishing up my cars for the weekend and rebuilt my 2wd shocks, the rear have new losi 30wt oil, as in a brand new bottle and feel good. The fronts have been built with old oil, fresh but in an old bottle and feel crap, am i missing something here? When i built them with 35wt from a new bottle they feel awesome but with 40wt, which is prob about a year old their rubbish.

you sure you didn't use baby johnsons or homebrand?
 Most good brands should be fine as they usually say they don't thicken or thin under cold or hot conditions on the bottle so should be ok if it was fresh and sealed in the bottle... you could have built them wrong? If your still unsure just redo the shocks again with new oil if they really do feel bad so then you can be 100% sure whether it's the oil or just you

Shock oil does go thicker in the cold despite what it says on the bottle.
