2.0 fox Coilover oil amount??

COLT · May 25, 2011

Does anyone know the amount of oil that comes in a 2.0 16" emulsion coilover from fox?? I am looking for the amount the factory ships them with. I lost ALL of my shock oil last weekend at choco and need to put a new valve on the shock as well as fill it back up with oil. Thanks..COLT

I did... They will only tell me to take the shock completely apart and fill it up until it is 7.5" from the top of the body and the put it back together. The guy did'nt know the measured amount....Go Figure huh... I know for a fact that it is completely void of fluid, so I was just going to insert the fluid through the schraeder.

I aint takin this bastard apart when it should be so much easier than that lol! i will keep looking and let yall know what I find! Thanks for the suggestions everyone..

Make sure the shock is fully extended when you add oil. It is not hard to take them apart, probably easier than draining the other and refilling both

Colt stop being lazy and take the thing apart. Probably best since I am sure some dirt got into the shock without the shrader all weekend. I have the aluminum vice clamps if you need them

I got some rebuild kits on the way just for that reason. I dont want to take them apart without rebuild kits in hand. Lazy huh...Have you washed your jeep yet lol.....
