Consistent Damping from Kyosho Silicone Oil

Kyosho SIL500000 silicone oil offers a high-viscosity option in a 40cc bottle for precise suspension tuning. The #500000 grade provides a thicker damping medium to aid control under demanding driving conditions.

Effect on Handling and Balance

Choosing the right silicone oil influences how quickly shocks react to inputs, affecting grip and steadiness. The thicker #500000 oil helps reduce transient movement, which can be useful on fast tracks or rough surfaces where a steadier chassis is preferred.

Filling and Upkeep Recommendations

Ensure dampers are free of dirt before refilling and add oil slowly to avoid spills. Cycle the shocks to remove trapped air and verify seals after reassembly. Regular servicing with a clean product like Kyosho SIL500000 helps extend component life and maintain reliable handling.
Remark :
Due to limited stock availability, please notice that some Kyosho items may have to order from the factory and the ready time is around 4-6 weeks. Customer purchases the item is assumed to accept the waiting time which allows us to order directly from the manufacturer if the item is out of our warehouse.

Is Kyosho SIL500000 suitable for compound tuning work?

Yes, it works well as part of a broader tune when combined with spring and ride-height changes, providing a predictable increase in damping firmness.

Will this oil fit small bore and large bore shocks?

The oil can be used in a variety of shock sizes, but very small bore shocks may feel sluggish with heavier oil; test and adjust to find the best match for your shock design.

Any tips for switching from lighter to heavier oil?

When moving to #500000, raise the oil level gradually and test in short runs to judge handling changes. Expect a firmer response and adjust springs or camber as needed to restore balance.
