Losi VS. AE Shock Oil???
What's the big difference between Losi shock oil and AE shock oil??? I run 1/10 and 1/8 off-road. Primarly around the tracks I race @ I think I'm the only one using losi shock oil. WHY????? What is the difference??? Is it price or what???
I just change my shock oil in my 4WD SCT and it came out black. Almost 20 races on it. It was Losi

Does AE make a 27.5 yet? That used to be a "hole" in the lineup.
Losi used to be heavier but somewhere along the line AE changed suppliers and I'm told the opposite is now true. I believe AE is ~$0.25 cheaper per bottle too.
Simple answer- use one brand, don't have a mixed brand assortment or your tuning results will be inconsistent.

The AE oil that is made/packaged for them by Lucas now is slightly thinner than Losi for equivalent weights and I've found it be more consistent in it's packaging as well, i.e. it always feels the same bottle to bottle and I've been unable to say that about Losi's oil in the past.

That's what I've been living by recently. ^^

What I don't understand is if the shock oil is let's say 25 weight oil, then why does that weight differ from company to company? Oil weight is oil weight, so if one company has 25 weight oil and another company has 25 weight oil but in reality they might be 26 or 27 weight even though it says 25 weight. What gives?
