Question Please Help! what shock oil!?!

I have already used the search, but didnt find anything!!

So Im running a Ax10 with about 8oz per tire in front an 7oz per tire of weight in the rear,
I also run stock shocks ( Im looking for losis, but here in austria it isnt so easy...:-()!
so what oil will work for my crawler?
or better: how shall i choose the "weight" of the oil!
here are some guys using different oil in rear and front (left/right) why?

because the front needs to be lighter than the rear the rear needs to be steff and I run 20 front and 35 in the rear right shock and 50 in the rear left shock the resend I run 50 is because if u hit the trottle the front right pops up and I fixed that problem I run 1 losi yellow on the left rear it works for me using my ax 10/swx chassis with losi shocks

  1. Go to your local hobby shop and buy a mega-multi-weight-pack of shock oil. I bought a Losi mutli pack that had 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, and 100wts. They also have one that is something like 60, 50, 40, 30, 20, and 10wts. If you are going for a droop setup, get the heavier weights and for a sprung setup go for the lighter weights.
  2. Test, and tune.
  3. repeat step 2

oh I see!
thanks!
up to now i run with no oil ( please dont hit me)because the original was too heavy and i have no at home!
i have nearly no torque twist and do about 65° without fliping over, so i thought why using oil!?
but everybody runs oil so i think it could only get better!?
