Sweep Racing range of Silicone oils

Sweep Racing range of Silicone oils

Sweep Racing have introduced their complete line of silicone oil, which have been laboratory blended and calibrated to ensure the highest possible consistency and quality from bottle to bottle. Based on the industry-proven cSt rating, the new line of oils will be easy to adjust your shock or diff. With thinner oils suitable for shocks (up to Medium), and thicker oils suitable for differentials, you will be able to find the correct viscosity you need for your application. Supplied in a 70ml square shape bottle, their design makes it very easy to squeeze and prevents it from rolling off your workbench, and the slim nozzle makes filling easy and prevents excessive oil from being squeezed out. The back of the bottle has a small viewport that allows you to see the oil level inside the bottle.
