A AaronJ Likes Dirt Aug 31, 2020 #1 Hi gang, About to service a circa 2004 fox 100 RLT fork. Specs say to use 10W red oil. I have loads 10W (edit 20W) gold for my newer forks. Can I substitute and if so how? Last edited: Aug 31, 2020

Go Likes Dirt Aug 31, 2020 #3 Red is a damper oil and Gold a lubricating one. I believe any 10wt hydraulic oil can replace red. I also could be totally wrong Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

link1896 Mr Greenfield Aug 31, 2020 #4 Any 14 cst @ 40c damping oil will work. Don’t use manufacturers weight numbers, useless.
