Where to buy, I'm guessing motorcycle fork oil is the same stuff?, as long as you get the right weight?.

Cheers.

Provided you get the right weight oil it doesnt matter really. Companies will try and say otherwise but I buy mine from a local motorcycle shop for about £4 for a litre of some shell fork oil.

hope this helps

Try not to get any that has anything that's designed to make the seals swell

The weights are pretty meaningless, IIRC you need to look at the viscosity index ...
