porqui Posted August 1, 2014 Share Sorry for my ignorance but where is grease used on a shock - have only serviced Fox? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droo Posted August 1, 2014 Share Sorry for my ignorance but where is grease used on a shock - have only serviced Fox? The air spring assembly in RS forks is lubricated with grease, and some Manitous use grease in the lowers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JXV Posted November 23, 2016 Share Hi guys I want to service the lowers on my Fox Float 34 fox_float_34_ctd-702x336.jpg I see I need Fox Float Fluid and Suspension Fluid. Any idea if there is a alternative oils I can use that I will get at Midas or something?I have the same fork exactly. All you need for a lowers service is a decent lubricating oil of 15wt to 20wt. NOTE : lubricating oil, not hydraulic damper oil. There is a difference. In the days before Fox Gold, Fox used 10wt Green (lubricating) for lowers and 10wt Red for dampers. In a pinch you can use a 10W30 or 15W40 multigrade motor oil but I suggest you try and source a litre bottle of Fox 20wt Gold made specifically for this purpose. Slippery as live eels and you can feel the difference when you ride it. Been using it on my fork since new. You don't need damper oil ( Fox 10wt Red) or Float Fluid (Blue, approx. 80wt) for a lowers service but will need these or suitable alternatives for damper cartridge and airspring service respectively ( Your fork is the Factory Kashima version so guessing it has a FiT damper).
