Confused!! Trying to make sence of Cps diff oil weight, using the conversion it converts 5000 cps to 285 in weight??

I don't know what diff oils is usually measured in....would assume it is CPS or maybe CST. As diff oils isn't usually sold in or referred to in WT so I don't know how accurate the calculator would be or why you'd really need to convert it unless you're looking at sourcing non-rc specific products to use.

Is bad enough trying to compare shock oils from 1 brand to another as they seem to measure it differently (maybe at different temps) or label it differently (in terms of the number they stick on the bottle compared to the actual CST/CPS value) making it a nightmare!

Shock oil is one of my biggest pet hates. Trying to find an oil that is regulary and readily available that provide a decent range with a decent level of increments, is accurate, in decent sizes bottles and not costing and arm an a leg is a nightmare!

It's an sworkz kit, the diff oil is cps not wt
I would like to use the kit oils rather than just have them gathering dust
But I need to know what 20,000 f 5,000c 2,000r equates to in wt before I fill the diffs
Converting shock oils from cps into weights is pretty straight forward but diff oil conversion from cps into wt seems another matter

Anyone?

Anyone?

As far as i can see that equates to 916wt front, 285wt centre and 131wt rear.

Now that seems odd IMO, but i run 5k in the front, centre and rear of my agama (Sworkz CPS oils) and havent had any problems.

Thanks
