Dial In Damping with Kyosho SIL0400-8

Kyosho's SIL0400-8 Silicone Oil #400 arrives in an 80cc bottle suited to racers and weekend builders who need reliable shock control in demanding conditions.

What #400 Viscosity Delivers

#400 silicone oil gives a firmer damping profile that resists harsh bottoming and helps stabilise the vehicle during heavy landings and rough surfaces.

Setup and Maintenance Suggestions

  • Clean shock internals thoroughly and inspect pistons before adding fresh oil.
  • Combine oil weight with spring rate and piston holes to tune for specific track roughness.
  • Replace oil regularly and check for air bubbles when filling to keep consistent damping.
Remark :
Due to limited stock availability, please notice that some Kyosho items may have to order from the factory and the ready time is around 4-6 weeks. Customer purchases the item is assumed to accept the waiting time which allows us to order directly from the manufacturer if the item is out of our warehouse.

Can I use this oil in buggy and truggy shocks?

Yes, #400 is often chosen for buggies and truggies that need firmer damping for jumps and rough terrain.

How do I avoid air bubbles when refilling?

Fill slowly, tap the shock body to release trapped air and cycle the shaft to settle the oil before sealing the shock.

Is this oil suitable for hot climates?

Stability is good, but store the bottle away from direct sunlight. If you run in very high ambient temperatures, monitor handling as viscosity can drop slightly.

Should I change oil after a crash?

Yes, inspect shocks after a hard crash and replace oil if contaminated or if seals were damaged to restore consistent damping.
