From what I can find, shock oils usually only go up to 800 cst. At 1000
cst they start calling it differential oil.
And I tend to agree with Don regarding wicking out. The 5000 cst seems to
stay on better than my evaporated Son of a Gun which is probably around
500-1000 cst. In practice though, I'm not sure how much difference it
makes.
