Each manufacture uses a special blend of oil in their automobile shocks. Unless you are talking about the front tubes on a motorcycle you cannot replace the oil. Refer to your owners manual for the correct oil to use in a motorcycle.

Can a rear shock absorber leak oil?
Yeah, sure.
What does it mean 100cSt in shock absorber?
100 cst refers to the viscosity of the oil used. More centistokes mean a higher resistance to fluid flow. To make the shock absorber feel firmer, use a more viscous oil, or to make it feel softer use a thinner oil.
What is the shock absorber keys?
The shock absorber is the oil that functions as a device to regulate the collision of the vehicleâ??s suspension and spring. The key role of this oil is to guarantee the smooth connection of tires with the surface of the road in every weather condition.
Can you put a front gas shock absorber and a rear oil shock absorber on your car?
The front and rear axle of the vehicle works independently. Unless you have different type of absorber for left and right side, if not, there will not be any harm using either gas or hydraulic on different axle. Tks

How much fork oil in 2007 honda CRF80F?

How much oil do you need to put in front shock absorber housing when fitting new inserts to the front of a 1997 Mk3 Vauxhall Astra?
The last set of these that I fitted,were vauxhall supplied,and required just fitting.They were oil filled and ready to go. Don't think I remember any that could be filled with oil,just regard them like a big shock absorber.
Can you repair leaking shock absorbers?
Depending on the design, some hydraulic shock absorbers can be repaired. In some cases, drilling a hole, draining the old oil, flushing with a lighter oil, and then replacing with standard shock absorber oil, and welding shot the oil may work. But these repairs are usually not long lasting.
Where can you get shock absorptive strong rubber?
Actually, rubber is not a good shock absorber, for it is an elastic material and does not store or dissipate much energy. Air or other gas is the useful principle in car shock absorbers, where the lossy characteristics of air compression are used to absorb energy. Forcing oil through a small hole is also used for the same purpose.
How shocks absorber working?
Shock absorbers do not actually absord shock. Instead, they work through the process of transference. When the car bounces, the spring transfers the energy created to a piston in a chamber that is filled with oil. The oil causes the energy to dissapate into heat.
Why is gas used in shock absorber?
"It is an inert gas for one reason, it is also larger than a molecule of air, so it has a harder time leaking out." Also, when the oil inside of a shock/strut heats up it can foam (this is called aeration), the nitrogen gas prevents this from happening.
Why nitrogen gas is used in shock absorber?
"It is an inert gas for one reason, it is also larger than a molecule of air, so it has a harder time leaking out." Also, when the oil inside of a shock/strut heats up it can foam (this is called aeration), the nitrogen gas prevents this from happening.
