Oil for BikeYoke dropper?

[gippyz]

Anyone serviced their bikeyoke dropper yet and can tell me what oil do u use? The manual recommended MOBIL DTE 10 EXCEL 15 mixed with 5% R.S.P. No Stick Slip and said "You may use suspension oils from other manufacturers, with similar viscosity, but from all the oils we have tested, we have received best results with our Mobil oil".

For the life of me i can't find the viscosity of the MOBIL oil or anything equivalent i can get from supercheap auto. I figured the R.S.P is just an additive to reduce friction, which i can only buy from bike shops - might give it a miss honestly.

Can i use reverb oil? well it's for rs reverb dropper. So may be compatible? or am i just being silly?

I've used Maxima 5wt with good success, mainly as I had it in the shed.

I've found the following on the Mobile and you could compare that to the Peter Verdone charts to find something similar.
