droo Posted June 15, 2018 Posted June 15, 2018 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. Sent from my SM-A520F using Tapatalk 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.
MrJacques Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 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.
jlerm001 Posted May 21, 2020 Posted May 21, 2020 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.
