How much oil does the shocks hold?

[1Coopgt]

So I'm going to probably take apart my shocks and rear diff and put new oil in all of them in the next few weeks . Approximent how much oil do the shocks hold . Looks like DDM sells the oil in 60cc bottles or 100 cc bottles . They are presently out of the 100cc bottles.
Looking at the HPI manual if your building the buggy I'm guessing they came with a bottle of 40wt and 5wt 100cc ea. so around 50cc's per shock?
As for the diff that would only be 1 bottle that I need.

I got 130ml for the tlr kit of 40wt and there is 25/30 ml left and for the diffs they gave 30ml each 1/2 ml remaining. x2 60ml should do for your shock only if they are large than the losi shocks will you be short

Hpi shox oil is petroleum based unlike most other oils...so I've read....and 60 will do 2x rears
u cant use other oil if u've had tbe hpi stuff in ur shoxs as it dose sumin to the seals......so i went with new seals when i changed shox oil
Darksoul seals r the best...and use the AE green slime before u fit them

No idea on the shocks but make sure to buy the new seals and washers when u rebuild the diffs https://www.ebay.com/i/323582694910...5%26rvr_ts%3Deba5da621670ada5dc048deaffd07129

Now you've got me a bit worried . Should I make the assumption that Rovan went with the same oils as HPI since my buggy is a Rovan technically and most of the parts are interchangeable .

I would play it safe and get new seals ect
