Block Posted January 7, 2021 Share Spend whole afternoon looking at Fox Oil volume charts on their Website but cannot find my fork description on there. Their website gives it the following description based on my fork's serial no. 2012 Evolution Series 32 Float 29 100 Can anybody help. I need to replace all the oil in the system bottom and upper legs.Thanks Edited January 7, 2021 by Block Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butterbean Posted January 7, 2021 Share Pretty sure its 30ml of the Fox 20wt Gold each side, and 5ml float fluid in the air chamber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmarc Posted January 7, 2021 Share Depends what fork build For Open Bath RL & Remote (which it probably is) go here https://biketechtools.com/forks/oil-volumes/fox/oil-chart/361 For FIT - RL & RLC go here https://biketechtools.com/forks/oil-volumes/fox/oil-chart/358 And then save this page for future use and info on oil volumes and a spoke calculator https://biketechtools.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Marshall Posted January 7, 2021 Share To the best of my knowledge the damper takes 74 ml Fox Red (10 wt). Whatever the volume is the oil must cover the piston of the damper mechanism. The lowers take 30 ml of lube oil each side. Now Fox Gold - the spec used to be for Fox Green. Air chamber takes 5 ml float fluid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Block Posted January 8, 2021 Share Thanks for responses.Jusy to confirm I am on yhe right track - How would I know if it is a FIT or Open bath.This is description from website: 2012,32-A, FLOAT29E-S,100,RL,O/B, I assume the O/B refers to Open Bath Is there any alternative oils to the fox red 10wt and fox gold 20wt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butterbean Posted January 8, 2021 Share Don't worry about the damper oil, i doubt you'll be doing that service yourself. Leave it to a mechanic who has the tools and the know how. The fox float fluid can be bought in small blister packs for next to nothing, use one per service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Block Posted January 9, 2021 Share Thanks guys for all the feedback. Got some 10w oil from local motor bike store (KTM in Westrand). Surprise at price. R210 FOR 1L vs LBS R652 for 1l. Fork done. Smooth as butter and all working 100% madmarc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droo Posted January 12, 2021 Share That's an open bath fork, so you'll need 30cc in the spring leg and 160cc in the damper leg. You'll also need to drain the oil from the damper before refilling - there's a check shim in the base valve which you'll need to open by pushing a 1.5mm hex key or similar into while cycling the damper, which will let the oil out.
