hmmm.. i thought silicone shock oil wasnt affected by temperature.

yep, i just checked, my trinity oil says that extreme temp changes will not alter the weight of the oil.

Some brands of shock or diff oil are effected by cold/hot weather.

From my use AE's oil stays the most consistsnt year round.

How cold can it possibly get in NV for a winter comp?

With silicone, it really shouldn't change, but you could throw a shock in the fridge overnight, then compare to one left out. If it's thicker, you could drop down to 70 or 60.
