Hi Drew,

The oil will get thinner as it gets hotter, and the dampers 'fade'.  However,
you are right that you can vary the damping by using a different viscosity oil
and racers in the UK often keep what oil they use as a closely guarded secret.
As far as I know, high performance dampers use only different valving.  Also,
I think it is possible to use synthetic oil to get better performance and
alleviate damper fade - something like Mobil 1 5-50?.
