Suspension oil alternatives?

Go check the graph in the OP. The cSt @ 40° for 5wt ranges between 15 and 28. Castrol synthetic on the heavy side and Honda Pro on the light.

For fork oil, yes. 5W Magnatec cones in somewhere around 40 cSt cold.

 

Check the datasheet. Or just use Magnatec cos someone else has already done the homework for you.

Bought some Spanjaard 5 wt fork oil from Midas today to service my older Reba. I've been using 15 wt Motul in the damper and no wonder the fork doesn't feel so great. Could this also be why it loses travel after a ride or so?

Nothing to do with the travel loss, but with 15wt in the damper it'll feel rough as a badger's ass.

Hi

 

Both my SID and Reba require 15wt for lower service.

 

Can I use liqui moly 15wt? I can only currently find liqui moly or spanjaard.
