Excellent. Thanks.Fox gold 20wt
10ml in each leg lower.
Pre 2015 stated 5/15ml but the current recommendation is 10/10mlExcellent. Thanks.
Just curious why 10ml though when Rockshox recommends 5ml drive side-- 15ml non drive side? Will the extra oil in the drive side do any damage?
Thanks mate. I was reading through the rockshox site for the procedure and they listed "14-Present" with the 5-15 so I thought I'd ask.Pre 2015 stated 5/15ml but the current recommendation is 10/10ml

I believe they only updated the recommendation to 10ml per side for 2016-on due to changes in the damper sealhead assembly. Earlier forks still have the '5ml max' warning on the damper side footnut. If on the other hand you have retrofitted the revised 2016-on SKF seals then you can run 10/10. The risk is otherwise blowing out the wiper seal on the damper side.Pre 2015 stated 5/15ml but the current recommendation is 10/10ml

This. Always go with the volume written on the footnut over the website volumes information.I believe they only updated the recommendation to 10ml per side for 2016-on due to changes in the damper sealhead assembly.

Easy way to tell is to see if the damper sealhead is the new green coloured SKF seal in which case use 10ml. Otherwise 5ml.Mine are 2016 (perhaps early 2016) and the drive side plug states 5ml max. So do I stick with 5/15 or go 10/10?
OK, thanks for that. I haven't looked, but is the seal head visible without removing the damper?Easy way to tell is to see if the damper sealhead is the new green coloured SKF seal in which case use 10ml. Otherwise 5ml.
My 2016 had new version seals but the old footnut that said 5ml max.
Yeah it's at the bottom of the stanchion which you will see if you are removing the lowers to do the service.OK, thanks for that. I haven't looked, but is the seal head visible without removing the damper?

The main thing about the Fox Gold is that it's quite sticky, so will tend to stay on the various bits it needs to lubricate, rather than drain to the bottom of the fork leg. You won't necessarily notice a huge performance difference, but durability of the fork will improve.Is there a noticeable difference with the Fox Gold? I was going to order some to try, but I still have a shitload of Rockshox oil and won’t bother if it is same/same.
