None of them, get the Fox oil as BaGearA said.

Not true…. Synthetic  motor oil is a perfectly acceptable alternative. Just a matter of viscosity 

Sure, if you are not concerned with voiding any warranties, or reselling it in the future, go for it.  You should however not expect advise here contrary to best practices.

Sure thing, HOWEVER fox 20wt gold is cheap and one of the best(if not the best) splash oil for lowers.

Fox used 10wt until 5 years ago then they changed to 20wt.

Apparently the 20wt sticks better to the Slider Bushings.

Many use Motor Oil and some Professional Fork Service Persons in RSA Swear by the Magnatec Fully Synthetic.

Mobil 1 is also preferred and Highly Recommended in the States.

The Problem with RS and Fox Products is that the LBS does not stock.

Wait if it's perfectly acceptable why is this thread even here?
