schuey 30wt is ass. 35wtg
schuey 35wt is ass. 40wtg
schuey 40wt is ass. 45wtg ( EDIT: there is no such thing as AE 45wtg shock oil )

Really?! Every time I've encountered the Schumacher oil it's much thinner weight for weight compared to Associated :confused:

That's because schumacher oil does not mix well with temperature changes. I've used AE oil for about two years now and it's been very consistant compared to the schumy random days.

I have been wondering how close AE and losi oils are, on the link posted above they have 2 charts, i put them together and this is what they have come up with, you will see they really are random, so dont believe anyone when they say such and such it 5 wt lighter or heavier, which is nice:)
