Silicone Shock Oil - What It Can Do For You

Team Losi Racing Silicone Shock Oil weighs in at only two pounds for a medium size tire, but what makes it special is that it is specifically designed to work with both dirt bikes and racing bikes. It's also the first full silicone bike tire to be allowed into the prestigious French GVA Grand Prix, where it performed admirably. This means that Silicone Shock Oil has been around long enough to have been tried on some of the world's most famous racers. If you like to go out and race, this is the perfect tire for you.

Team Losi Racing Silicone Shock Oil has been around for a while, but it's still considered to be one of the lightest and best performing silicone oils on the market. The reason for its lightness is in its viscosity. As opposed to other types of oils and fluids, silicone oil does not go through thick layers of plastic as do ordinary fluids. This means that it will clump up and go bad more quickly, meaning you could possibly run out of room for use before it breaks down entirely. This is a good thing though, since it means that you will always have an open container of silicone shock oil in your trunk.

With a thirty minute pour in your vehicle, two ounces comes out to be about the weight of a quarter Pound of pure silicon oil. So, if you weigh twice what you would expect to, it's safe to say you are using about a quarter of a pound of silicone shock oil at anytime. Good for a pump and the occasional oil change. If you have two quarts of gas at your disposal, this will stretch that to a gross ton, or about twice the weight of two ounces in a quart of fluid.

The next time you need to do a quick getaway, get creative. Thicken up your thin out in hot weather or thicken up in cold weather, grab some of this powerful lubricant. Or, if you want to see what it can do to your engine, give it a try right inside your car's gas tank.

One caution: Most of the oil used in these vehicles is a pure silicone shock oil, which means it contains no oils at all. Pure oils have been proven dangerous for some applications, and so, a vehicle using them will have its own separate container for this purpose. It might be safer, however, to use a different kind of oil for these vehicles. A common alternative is diesel oils, which come from the same plant, and are much gentler on the environment.

This oil also has the added benefit of being completely natural. No additives make it more potent than pure silicone. In fact, pure silicone shock oil has been compared to drinking mineral water, because it's much softer on the skin (and, of course, hair). If you don't like the idea of something being so harsh on your skin, or your hair, consider a lubricant that has fewer chemicals. Look for products that use the Pro silicone ingredient, which is one of the mildest possible.
