Gday rotorburners,
I have serviced many forks in the past (mostly lower leg services) and the time has come to strip and service my 2019 Grip2 Fox 36 fork. I see on the Fox website that instead of using the gold oil in both legs, you now need some special 5wt teflon infused oil in the Grip damper side of the fork. Anyone done this service? Can you get away with a generic 5wt fork oil? At $45 for 1 litre, I could service my fork 25 times, so seems like a bit of a waste for the backyard mechanic like myself where I would probably only do it 3 or 4 times (at most) before selling the bike anyway.
