Is their 10wt oil the same as every one elses or does it have magic powers. I need some for a fork service so will any do?
personally I would use a decent brand of motorcycle fork oil. It will invalidate your warranty tho
I use rockoil, no difference although if you ask mojo they will say theirs is special!
I'm currently using the Castrol motorbike fork oil they sell in Halfords, doesn't feel vastly different to the Fox stuff I had in before, except on the wallet. I'm more inclined to do a quick cleanup and oil change when I know it only costs a quid or so.

Fox recommends using Fox High Performance Synthetic Suspension Fluid or any 7wt. synthetic suspension fluid for their forks. If you have read my motorcycle page, you can understand how moronic this suggestion is. One companies 7 is another's 5 and yet another's 10. The actual viscosity numbers of this oil are 31.82 cSt@40C/9.57 cSt@100C/VI 300. Torco RSF Medium is what Fox is reselling, so using Torco should provide exact results. I have found that Red Line Synthetic Oils are about the finest oils to use in suspension systems (as well as Silkolene). Red Line oils will mix very well with each other to provide you with precise oil tuning. The wide range of viscosities provide for almost any mix that could ever be needed. Other similar oils to the stock Fox oil are:Red Line Synthetic Oil , 95% Medium (10wt) / 5% Heavy (15wt) (ISO 32)
Silkolene 50% Pro RSF (5wt) / 50% Pro RSF (7.5wt)
The Enduro Fork Seals website also suggests Torco RSF for Fox Forks. I use Silkolene RSF simply because the local motor discount centre sells it. I've noticed CRC also sells it as "Marzocchi Silkolene"
i use Silkolene 🙂
is not it just motorbike stuff in a different bottle, costing eight times the price?
What you could do, right, is go to Halfords, and buy some oil. Then strip naked, cover yourself in it, pour some on the floor and body slide down the aisle.
Immense fun. And entertainment for all the families visiting the store. Speshly the kiddies; they love it!
You might get banned from ever going there again though.
Fox Green 10wt = Torco RSF Medium
Fox Red 10wt = Silkolene Pro RSF 10wt
