The official service vid says to use "motorex supergliss 1000". I presume it's a synthetic oil but can't find any indication of the oil weight to buy a less pricey alternative. Anyone got any ideas ?
Cheers

I use 10wt Silkolene in my Pace forks if that helps? I'm only 10st mind...

Damper oil - use Motorex 7.5wt. I made the mistake of using Silkolene Pro RSF, and it made the forks feel awful to to stiction! You can get Motorex via amazon.

In terms of Supergliss (which you use in the air chamber and in the lower leg on the spring-side), use Fox FLOAT fluid or RockShox Red Rum.
