How will 500 weight oil change handling on pavement?

A 500 weight gives noticeably firmer damping, which helps stability and reduces body roll on smooth surfaces like tarmac or carpet. Expect a tighter feel through high speed corners.

Is it safe to mix 500 with lighter oils?

You can blend viscosities to tune midrange response, but mix in small steps and test each change. Mixing alters sealing and springback, so proceed with measured trials.

What is the best way to refill dampers without spills?

Use a syringe or fine spout and hold the shock upright, slowly filling to avoid air bubbles. Wipe excess fluid immediately and cycle the shaft to purge trapped air.
