Will 500 make my car understeer more?

Increasing front or overall damping with 500 can increase understeer if front roll is reduced more than rear. Balance front and rear damping to maintain neutral handling.

How long does silicone oil last in a sealed shock?

Silicone oil remains stable for long periods if seals are intact and the shock is clean. Check oils when you rebuild or if performance becomes inconsistent.

Are there any tips for fast on-track changes?

Carry a small syringe and spares so you can swap oil weights between sessions. Record settings for front and rear so you can revert quickly after testing.

Should I pair 500 oil with different pistons?

Yes, changing piston orifice size alters flow with heavier oil. Try a slightly larger orifice if 500 makes the shock too slow, then fine-tune with spring rate and preload.
